The base of the double bed was worn and stained and therefore I checked the condition of the mattress on top. That was ok. The handrail running on the tiled surface along the bath was very rusty. Had been badly painted with blue metal paint to hide rust.

Great hotel for a night before using Stansted Airport. Lovely welcome from the reception team. Very dog friendly. Good room, nice and spacious. Lots of hot water. The sofa bed was a little lumpy. Can't comment on breakfast as we departed before it opened. Would recommend for the price and would happily return.
