Disliked: Amenities
Booked because the plane was arriving so late at night & wanted a nights sleep before having to drive home. Later realised that hotel didn’t have 24 hour check in so if plane was delayed we wouldn’t be able to check in. Booked another hotel instead. Very annoyed that a hotel describing itself as an “airport” hotel does not make this clear up front.

The property was in good condition and the bedroom was perfectly OK. The young Asian man who booked us in was very pleasant and helpful when a small problem arose. Unfortunately he enterprise seems to have gone downhill as there was no restaurant as advertised and the Wi-Fi did not work, even we were given the "correct" login details for the router. Handy for the airport though!

Very basic

First room the tv was broken. I went back ro reception and they gave me the key to another room and asked me to move. I did then checked and the new rooms tv was broken too. They suggedted i move again but i asked for a replacement tv which arrived but the screen was sticky-taped on and with no coax cable i couldd not get local tv channels. The rooms were tired and worn and need a refit. Very basic budget accomodation.

You get what you pay for.

It is a cheap place to stay for the location prior to an early flight. No hot water or towels. Tea and coffee provided but no milk. Tv didn’t work. Tolerable cleanliness but you get what you pay for. Would I stay here with my wife ? No but for a solo cheap stay over, it was bearable.

Convenient location in close proximity to Stanstead airport. The 508 bus is handy to be dropped off within 100yds and get back to the airport again. Room info needed updating as no dining options. TV signal was hit and miss and my shower was leaking. However, I would use this place again due to convenient location and reasonable price.

Give Grace

Very close to Stansted Airport and reasonable for last-minute bookings. Bring non-perishable food items. Keep in mind that a simple place to lay one's head is more than the luxury of one's expectation. Have and give grace. I was very thankful to get a room and have peaceful nights.

For £59 a night I was not expecting much, therefore I wasn't too surprised by the spider webs above the bed. Otherwise, the room seemed clean, the bed too and we had 2 clean towels. Unfortunately, we had to sacrifice one towel to the bathroom floor because the shower bassinet was leaking like crazy. On top of that the water was lukewarm so if you like to take a hot shower, this is not the place. The worst thing about the stay was the not flushing toilet. That was just awful.

Liked: Cleanliness
This was convenient and the room was clean. On arrival the man on reception did not smile or welcome us, and asked us to wait while he went to the toilet. He came out with wet hands which he shook hard to dry them. I was then charged £6.10 to park my car outside. He again asked us to wait while he put towels and pillow cases in the room. He never mentioned food but there was a poster about it in the room. However, no sign of it - we ate at the Green Man. We had to leave for our flight at 2.30am and got very little sleep because of a loud party of men downstairs until after midnight. In the morning there were numerous lager cans in reception (photo available!)

Why do people have loud conversations at 2am

Arrived late and left really early in the morning, but still had to pay full fee for parking. Why should you have to pay for parking, its in the middle of nowhere. The room was very hot but the worst bit was how noisey it was. I dont think the receptionist talking to people outside at 2am, knew how to keep his voice down. Yes im tired and grumpy reviewing this, but come on. I suppose you get what you get for 40 quid. Never again though.

A place to avoid

The location is not as close to the airport as it looks on the map and there are no shops or restaurants nearby (and nothing in the "hotel"). The bathroom smelled foul and you couldn't keep the door closed. The metal strip on the floor was loose and bent up at each end. The hot and cold on the basin were the wrong way round and the plug did not keep the water in. The bed had no headboard and no mattress protector, just a thin but clean sheet over the mattress; and the duvet cover was clean. The TV was old, in bad condition, only received a few channels was was not capable of playing MP4 files via the USB. The nicest area was reception!
