do not be fooled by the pictures on the website, the hotel itself is appalling, i am surprised health and safety have not closed it down!!!
the stairs, the creaking floorboards, exit signs, fire extinguishers, the sink in the bathroom is way too small, there is no thermostatic regulator on the taps and the water is scalding hot!!!!

On entering our room and discovering the state of it I called reception straight away to ask if i could pay to upgrade room, i was met with a VERY hostile and immediately defensive receptonist who literally spat at me the words 'whats wrong with your room then' I went on to explain the problem but gave up when I found her tone very aggressive and rude. I couldnt really understand her attitude though as we where not asking for a free upgrade, we were more than happy to pay extra. We ended up spending as much time as we could in the hotel garden rather than in our room as the room was so hot and stuffy. The bathroom was so disgusting that I couldnt bear to be in it and certainly couldnt bring myself to shower there!, I certainly would not go back or recommend this hotel to anyone. Our experience here was awful.

tiny room, very hot and stuffy with mould all over bathroom(including the ceiling), ripped carpet, scuffed walls, socket too far away from mirror (only 1 socket worked), very old tatty furniture. unapprochable staff!

Will reserve judgement following your feedback to me reference paying for twin roon but allocated single.
(97156292)

Staff very helpful

I had booked a twin room but was allocated a single which was small.(the TV arial was broken), very tight getting into bathroom because of position of door in narrow corridor

Convenient for the business meeting. Off-street parking. Price fair for so close to London.

WiFi did not work in room. TV reception very poor. Dated / faded decoration and cleanliness.

good location, easy to reach from M25 and with excellent parking. Room was perfect and the excellent breakfast was an added bonus. Will recommend to others.

This hotel was unfortunately not what we expected. The staff to their credit were very helpful but the room (3rd flr) myself and my wife occupied was very hot and stank of cigarettes. The stair carpet leading from the hall up to our room was filthy. We did not use the dining room for breakfast rather choosing to leave as soon as possible.If we had arrived earlier in the evening I would not have stayed there and looked for another hotel.

the room was very small,very hot and stank of cigarettes. Outside the window on the flat roof there were cigarette butts strewn everywhere and the window was burnt where the cigaretes had been stubbed out before being thrown onto the roof

This hotel is OK if you are just stopping for one night. Any more than that, and it's definately worth looking elsewhere for accommodation!
(97085134)

This hotel has the creakiest floorboards i have ever encountered! If you are planning to stop here, make sure you take ear plugs to ensure you get a good night's sleep!!

The room and facilities was what i expected for the money but disappointed with the food.
(99876222)

The accommodation was good access to the conference that i was attending.

I was very disappointed with the morning breakfast which was warmed up and hard and not to a good quality.

Good value
Mary Emma from Otley, United Kingdom;GB (Group of adult friends) 14 July 2006
There was nowhere nearby to eat after 9.00pm and the hotel did not serve food in the evening. Noisy road outside, may not have been a problem but it was a hot night and needed the window open.
Free secure car parking was much appreciated.
Although the hotel was shabby in parts the room, bed and towels were clean. Annoying that no one had checked the lights and the main light in the room had no light bulb.
Breakfast room was pleasant and the breakfast was excellent.
Overall good value for the price with very pleasant staff.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Bed was clean and comfortable
Breakfast was very good value

Room was at the front of the hotel and the road outside was very noisy
No lightbulb in main light. Shower controls were very difficult to use

The hotel was as described by previous reviews and very easy to find. The building was clean and tidy with excellent friendly staff. The secure parking is a major bonus here!!! The reception area sold cold drinks/snacks which was handy although there is a great pub 'The Wheatsheaf' 5 mins down the road which sold very reasonable, tasty, great choice of food! Worth a visit! You've got banks and newsagents 2 mins away also. Our room was small but as we were only staying overnight it didn't matter and we did note that other rooms were bigger.I would definately stay again.

Secure Carpark, breakfast included in price

Walls on the stairway had some scuff marks and firedoor to the corridor banged, the bathroom could have dome with some neat finishing off at the tilework and there was some mildew visable above the bathroom window.

Nice and close to Croydon station. OK overall - if you just want somewhere to sleep and not for a special occasion. Clean, everything worked ok. We had to miss breakfast but staff were very accomodating and made us a take-away sandwich - which was great customer service.

Friendly staff. basic but adequate, cheap - good value for money

Perhaps a bit of modernisation - but for the money I wouldnt really expect anything too luxurious
