It started off great. I had a 3 night stay and the first 2 nights were good other than not being able to use netflix or anything like that on the telly. But overall a good night sleep. Then along came the Gypsy wedding. All i can say is i got little to no sleep. Had to keep checking on my car as there was no control over the party till after the police came. Doors being kicked hotel getting smashed up. It was definitely by far the worst experience in a hotel ever. And i stay in alot of hotels due to work. So safe to say i will never come back here again which was a shame as the first couple of days were a nice comfortable stay.
They were not able to get a key card for the rooms. So they had to keep letting me into my room . There's was only one person at reception. But had only one person at reception, who was very busy.
Suppose to have a garden view and we had an extension to look at three foots away from the room. Someone at 3.20am was on their phone shouting loudly until 6.30am - not nice getting woken up in the early hours of the morning. Our complaint was suppose to be investigated and they were getting back to us - still waiting nearly a week later.

Easy to find with ample parking on site and near to the entrance. A wonderful lobby area with the restaurant to the right and checking in immediately to your left. On checking in, I was told that breakfast was not booked with the stay which I queried and then had to prove via the original booking confirmation that it was booked with it. Next issue was the air-con unit. Although it wasn't a hot day, it was very humid which warmed up the room to make it uncomfortable. The unit displayed a message to say control was done centrally and the front desk said they would have someone to sort it out within 30 minutes. This never happened which led to an uncomfortable night's sleep. The room itself was tastefully done with a proper office chair at the desk for once. The shower was fantastic and very invigorating. Breakfast was delicious with everything cooked just right. Overall, this stay should have been close to a 5 star rated stay but too many little issues dragged it down when they could easily have been overcome. I would definitely look to stay here again though knowing how good it could be.

Mixed. And charged for breakfast when free.
Rooms are decent and refurbished. Communal areas grubby. Charged for 2 breakfasts when the reservation said it was free. We'll see if they refund. Signage around hotel for 2nd floor rooms wasn't clear. Decent breakfast. Rooms were extremely hot and with no fans or a.c

Good location for those taking exams at the Romford center, however beds we extremely uncomfortable! Size of rooms were good though compared the prison cell like rooms at the spark Hilton. Another plus was the parking was free too.

Lack of communication between hotel.com and the hotel had to pay even aftermaking reservation and payment for all. Slept late trying to figure out the situation and this was terrible experience!
Clean and bed comfortable. TV did not work and shower water pressure poor. If water pressure cannot be improved suggest separate hand held shower to wash more completely. Worst of all was the breakfast Gestapo... Ridiculous... Breakfast took forever as the poor guy running it was being forced to prove that everyone who booked through people like Hotels.com has a rate that includes bfst.. wanted to frog march me to the front desk... Sort your act out and let this guy focus on customer service
Nicely appointed room and entrance area. Handy location with good access to the motorway network. Would stay here again. Large car park to the front of the premises.
The young lady on front desk was amazing she was helpful and professional the rooms a clean.over all amazing stay and a big thanks to the two cleaners they was brilliant.I will definitely recommend this hotels
No housecleaning, the SPA not open, no restaurant even if it said "restaurant - on site), very hard beds.....
Unfortunately they had a wedding last night that went out of control with vandalising, fights, KNIFE-FIGHTS, kithcen closed due to broken glass and blood in the restaurant.....

No WiFi on the room and I booked premium room. Breakfast not until 7.30 which is late when being out for work. When open for breakfast started to clean coffee machine which took about 10 min. Could have been done before opening hours?
