Stayed for two nights after arriving to Luton airport and waiting to go to Heathrow for my next flight. Staff is really attentive and the breakfast and all day coffee availability is great. The mall next door made the wait pass faster. Would stay again if I arrive to Luton airport and need a few nights before I continue with my travels.

It is a very good to stay , good access to Conner to different parts of uk, the rooms are clean and the domestic are very helpful, the staff are all right very helpful. Breakfast is ok if you are the hungry type, I prefer the fruit salad and cereal. Parking is awful your driver is allow only 10 minutes to offload your baggage and to help you take them to your room because there is nobody to help you downstairs
