Overall the place was good, good money value and near a shopping center. Just not baby or toddler friendly.
Pros:

Easy to find. Near shopping center. Clean and helpful Staff.

Cons:

The rooms were small and hard to get around. And there’s no refrigerator to place milk for our 2.5yrs old daughter.

Excellent Value For Money, Very Clean, Pleasant Staff, Excellent Breakfast
Pros:

We had a lovely stay at this hotel and would happily recommend it for both business and leisure.

The lovely lady who checked us in was so welcoming and friendly, making a great first impression on arrival. Our room was spotless and very comfortable, and we were delighted to have such a quiet room. We couldn’t hear any noise from outside, which made for a really peaceful night’s sleep.

The breakfast and coffee was excellent and the ladies who served and cleared up after us and made sure everything was topped up were great . It made all the difference to are start to the day. The hotel’s location is also very convenient for getting around St Albans and Hatfield, with easy access to the M25.And with the locals busrunning past on the Bell Roundabout it meant leaving the car and heading into St Albans

Overall, a fantastic stay with a clean room, excellent breakfast, friendly service and a peaceful night’s sleep. We would definitely stay here again!

Cons:

Nothing

Great Location, Noisy Rooms
Pros:

Perfect location for an overnight stay, close to the motorway and a retail park with Sainsbury’s, M&S Food, Burger King, Greggs, TK Maxx and Boots. Very convenient when travelling long distances and ideal if you need to pick up anything along the way.

Cons:

Breakfast was included in the price, but the choice was quite limited. There was a full English breakfast and some fruit, but a wider selection would have been nice.

Noise from the corridor was also an issue. The doors slammed very loudly, so earplugs were necessary to get a decent night’s sleep in the morning.

Disappointing
Pros:

Clean, pleasant room. Staff helpful.

Cons:

We had settled into our room and then had to move because the toilet stopped working. It was very upsetting after a long day travelling to have to repack and move. We ended up with a double instead of twin, which would have been our preference. There was an apology but no offer of a goodwill gesture or partial refund for the inconvenience.

The breakfast was poor. Scambled eggs were so tough they were inedible. Bacon was extremely greasy. Porridge was tasteless and the freshly ground coffee had an "instant" flavour. Milk was locked away before the end of breakfast.

Some traffic noise but has aircon so windows can be closed
