Good location
Very comfortable had a twin accessable room plenty of floor space to suit any disability. Large wet room fitted with all the hand rails etc. One of our main reasons for staying is the location close to rail service for our trips into central London. Good quality food at breakfast and a menu selection in the evening. Would recommend to family and friends.

Breakfast Good, Parking NOT good.
Nice hotel, Great Breakfast and breakfast staff really friendly and food was hot and delicious.
Room ok, standard with tea & coffee supplied.
Clean and fresh.
Very handy for Warner Brothers Studio tours. Only 15 minutes away.
Car parking was horrendous. No disabled spaces and only about 30 spaces, very tight to get in and out. Council parking is available a few minutes away, but when you need disabled spaces, you need it for a reason.
Ideal for business trips.
