OK for a short night with early start next day.
Pros:

The hotel was close to Luton airport where we took a 6.30 flight.

Cons:

We were 2 couples in our 70s and the rooms were upstairs with no lift so a bit difficult with cases.
We didn’t like the food in the restaurant.
I had messaged the hotel 2 days before we arrived to say I wanted to pay for the room with a different credit card to the one used to save it and my friend would pay separately for theirs but the payment was taken off the first card for both rooms!!

Good luck staying here
Pros:

Hotel is a great location near luton and north london

Cons:

Be very careful if you’re planning on arriving later in the evening, as check-in closes at 10pm. We only discovered this in the FAQs, and it certainly wasn’t obvious when making the booking.

We had been travelling for nearly four hours and arrived just after the check-in time. When we tried the intercom, the member of staff we spoke to was extremely rude. I explained how far we had travelled and politely asked whether there was any possibility of checking in, only to be told, “No, not a chance.” We then went into the restaurant to try to sort it out. Initially, the manager also said no, but after around 10 minutes of discussion they eventually agreed to let us check in.

The room itself was very basic. It had an electric heater, so the choice seemed to be either cold or absolutely boiling! Unfortunately, cleanliness was also an issue, particularly in the bathroom, where there was a considerable amount of black mould across the ceiling.

Breakfast was another disappointment. We had pre-booked breakfast, but when we came down in the morning there was nobody there to greet us. There was a rather sorry-looking table with a few croissants, boxes of cereal and flasks of coffee. There was also a pile of coffee cups, almost all of which were visibly stained and dirty — we managed to find about three that looked clean.

Eventually, a member of staff appeared and took our breakfast order. We then waited around 20 minutes for the cooked breakfast to arrive. When it did, everything apart from the sausages was stone cold. By that point, we just wanted to leave.

Overall, it was a really disappointing experience. The late check-in situation could be communicated much more clearly when booking, and the attitude we initially received certainly didn’t help after a long journey. The cleanliness and breakfast also need significant improvement.

If you’re desperate and it’s a last resort, it’s probably worth around £30 a night.
