Breakfast Good, Parking NOT good.
Nice hotel, Great Breakfast and breakfast staff really friendly and food was hot and delicious.
Room ok, standard with tea & coffee supplied.
Clean and fresh.
Very handy for Warner Brothers Studio tours. Only 15 minutes away.
Car parking was horrendous. No disabled spaces and only about 30 spaces, very tight to get in and out. Council parking is available a few minutes away, but when you need disabled spaces, you need it for a reason.
Ideal for business trips.

The wrong plot for a hotel so ok given this
The general location is excellent, it is clean and well maintained. The staff were also great.
The location is down some dark narrow streets with a scruffy site next door and a parking area that is poorly lit and also with crumbling walls and old hoardings. I found another way to walk back on St Albans Road that was better lit.
The bed is small and the air con noisy or with the window open there is significant train noise.
The breakfast is ok.

Disappointing
The sofa bed was ridiculously uncomfortable. I kept waking up all night as a result and had a sore back in the morning.

It was ok
Room 208 did not have working air conditioning and the sofa bed was extremely uncomfortable. The springs in the mattress can be felt. During breakfast time, the meat items are kept next to the non meats and this makes other foods smell meaty not ideal for the vegetarians

Mid 3* hotel in Watford
The hotel is next to Watford Junction rail station which is great for the city.
There is limited Parking at the back of the hotel for £7 per night which is comparable with the Rail station parking.
This is a standard budget Holiday inn Express. We paid £158 for two nights, It provides the basic needs in a modern hotel, but with limited extras.
The room was on the 5th floor with two working lifts. Room was spacious with the desk and sofa, good Wifi and modern bathroom.
Minor quibbles were the shower water pressue was weak, and the Aircon quite noisy.
Breakfast is included and adequate but you have fight your way through 30 other people wanting access to the buffet.
I would stay here again for its convenience to London.
