6.0/10

The hotel was quite disappointing overall. The rooms were tired and need redecorating, lacking basics like coat hangers and cleanliness. It was noisy throughout the night. On the positive side, the location was convenient for early flights from Luton airport and being close to work sites. Service was friendly and efficient, but dining options were lacking despite being attached to a Hungry Horse Pub.

6.8/10

The hotel is decent with some drawbacks. The rooms could use a bit more space due to badly designed furniture and could have been cleaner, especially the skylight in the bathroom. However, the newly renovated areas are a plus, despite the restricted window security. The service, particularly from the check-in staff and restaurant/bar team, is exceptional, making it worth the money spent.

The hotel's location is acceptable, providing access to the bus route to Luton and situated in a decent part of Dunstable, not too inconvenient to reach the center. Though the outer appearance may deter some due to security concerns, the staff handles such situations promptly, ensuring a more secure environment.
