My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room was spacious, charming, and had a large bed, but the lack of hot water and cleanliness issues were disappointing. The hotel's location suited my needs perfectly for a social evening in Hitchin, although it could benefit from more investment in staff and fittings. The service was a mix of friendliness and information, with a few staff members needing improvement. The dining experience left much to be desired, with tasteless food and high prices. Despite these shortcomings, the establishment offers good value for money in the lovely town of Hitchin.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, though clean, were noisy due to their location near the events room. The service was a bit hit or miss, with some staff being kind while others were less welcoming. The location was convenient for my needs, but the dining options left something to be desired.

Rooms

The rooms, split up when requested together, were clean with fresh linen. However, being situated next to the events room made it very noisy, affecting my stay.

The dining experience was mediocre overall. The quality of the food had noticeably decreased, with some items being undercooked, which was disappointing.
Facilities
The hotel lacked standout facilities, and the changes in the dining quality were evident. However, the easy parking facilities were a plus.

The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were fresh, clean, and had super comfy beds, but they were small, not very clean, and uncomfortably hot. The service was friendly and helpful, but distracted and understaffed at times. The location was great, with tons of pubs and restaurants nearby, but the shower enclosure was challenging to use for older guests not keen on loud party scenes. The dining experience was unsatisfactory, with breakfast issues and expensive bar prices.
