The hotel had lovely, spacious rooms, perfect for families, but there was a slight issue with a moldy smell in the corridors. The service was mostly pleasant, although there was an uncomfortable experience with overcharging at the restaurant. The location was excellent, especially for visiting Harry Potter studios, but the dining options could be better. The facilities were decent overall.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The convenient location near the train station and high street was great, but the noisy main road made it hard to sleep. The service was efficient and suited our needs, although some staff members lacked friendliness. Dining had its highs with gluten-free options, but a few breakfast items were out of order. Overall, a decent stay with ups and downs.

The hotel is in a perfect location, conveniently close to Watford junction station and offers easy access to everything you need. The rooms were initially a bit uncomfortable due to the heat, but once we sorted out the air conditioning, they were great. The service was top-notch with staff going out of their way to cater to our needs. The dining experience provided a huge variety of international dishes but was a bit disappointing overall. The facilities were good, and the price was reasonable for what was offered.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable and perfect for a leisure stay, with a late check-out time which was convenient. The breakfast was exceptional, one of the best I've had at a hotel. However, the rooms were not ready until 3 pm, but noise was not an issue. Overall, a great choice for a one-night stay.

The hotel's location is fantastic, just a short walk from Watford Junction, making it perfect for visiting the magic of Harry Potter. The rooms were clean, comfy, and had lovely bathrooms, although they were a bit small. The service was friendly and accommodating, but there was a minor issue with a steak order. The dining experience was good with a great selection but needs improvement in coffee quality. The facilities were well-maintained, and overall, the value for money is excellent.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were not suitable for my two children over 9, and being next to the lifts was a bit inconvenient with their continuous use. However, the room itself was very nice and clean, with a large bed that met my expectations.
