  : Just more variety

  : The beds were quite comfy. Food was good.
  : Booked a double room but when we got there, we got told there wasn’t any left, despite specifically booking one. Area wasn’t the best. Cars coming in and out of the carpark, pulling in, men getting in, the quickly leaving. Also with empty bottles of alcohol on the floor and a group of men drinking when we turned up.

  : Excellent hosts at reception who double up as bar / restaurant servers. Lighting throughout the hotel and rooms are creative and vibrant. Nice touch for the blue light in the bathroom, so it's not as bright when using it during the night. The shower was pleasant. Comfy bed and sofa. Food served in the evening was tasty and a nice spread for breakfast too.
  : Only negatives for me would be the rooms weren't quite as soundproofed as I'd like as I could hear people moving about in the room above, trains outside (however the location is next to the train station, so I'm not docking this in the points for review) and the doors slamming shut was irritating. Would be good if something could be done to have the doors close quieter as most people aren't considerate enough to close their doors gently. Lastly, the carpets are looking a little worn and used and need heavily cleaning or ideally replacing in the room (502 in particular) and the stairwell.

  : The train prices from Manchester to London are stupidly high. We decided to drive to Watford, book in the hotel and get the train into London. It was a great decision. The train from Watford into Euston is every 10 mins and only takes 15 mins.

  : Accommodation and de-accommodation without problems. You can leave your luggage in the luggage room. Wifi coverage fine. Cleanliness of rooms good.Breakfast Mon-Fri 6:30-9:30 a.m., weekends 7:30-10:30 a.m.Location to the Watford Junction railway is amazing.
  : Breakfasts could be more varied. I understand that these are typical English breakfasts, but of the vegetables there were only boiled tomatoes and beans. There is no cheese or ham (only fried bacon), also only bread in the sweet variant (with jam, nutella) or with butter come into play (I had the opportunity to eat in another hotel of the same group in another country so I have a comparison).
