    Easy check-in and out. Friendly staff. Parking was tight and very limited. Not really a big deal since you can probably find parking elsewhere. The train is just across the hotel, so make sure you close the windows.

    The train prices from Manchester to London are stupidly high. We decided to drive to Watford, book in the hotel and get the train into London. It was a great decision. The train from Watford into Euston is every 10 mins and only takes 15 mins.

    Lots of stains on the carpet in my room so I hesitated to walk without footwear or socks. But other than that, the room was clean and comfortable.
