The staff were very helpful and friendly. The breakfast buffet was varied and included hot dishes. The property itself was basic and clean but the floor had quite a musty smell. Overall good value and good experience for an airport hotel.

Decent place to stay for one night close to the airport. The restaurant was surprisingly good and staff were nice and friendly. Beds and pillows not that great and AC was on the fritz.

Room was very hot, had a random phone call at 2am which woke us out of a deep sleep which wasn’t handy giving we had to be up at 5am for our flight! Early breakfast buffet wasn’t great.

Staff were lovely but checked in for 4 people. The sofa bed was the most uncomfortable you could possibly imagine. None of the sockets were working and we called reception and they told us they already know about it. They switched us rooms and this room smelt badly of smoke, the carpet's are filthy and stained and the bed had big stains on the sheets.

Clean, convenient hotel near Stansted, with a great bus service to the airport for £4, every half hour. Good breakfast included with a very practical early start (4 am!) for those Ryanair flights.
