Hotel is in an upper level depending upon the street, it took me a little while find the main entrance using my GPS as it took me at the lower level where a public parking lot. Parking is not included but have a fair price. Check area if you arrive late night as it is a bit rough around. Beyond that the quality of hotel is great.

Nice staff and very understanding. However, some rooms need to be fixed. The noise during the day is painful. The breakfast is also a bit expensive, especially for someone who doesn't eat much during breakfast. Overall, it was a nice time (7/10)

Nice staff ready to solve any issues one has with the room. However, there were occasions where the room toilet was bad. Though I had a change of room, it was still not the best, including the noise during the day. The breakfast is good but a bit on the high side, especially if one doesn’t eat much for breakfast.

Stayed in a twin room with my daughter for one night, before flying from London Luton. The room was basic, but fine - pretty much as you would expect. Location was fine for the airport - a quick and easy drive out there for an early flight. Main issue is that Luton town centre, where the hotel is located, feels very hostile and unsafe at night. Groups of youths hanging around, shadowy figures lurking in doorways. All pretty unpleasant

The hotel has a great location and overall offers a pleasant stay. However, the non-refundable cancellation policy is quite restrictive. Additionally, while some staff members are warm and friendly, others could be more welcoming and approachable, as their lack of hospitality and warmth was noticeable at times.
