A family christening nearby brought us to this hotel. We arrived into Luton Airport and the hotel is just a short distance from the M1 Junction 8. It is a standard type Holiday Inn made special by the service you receive. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and we must especially commend the breakfast waiting staff. They did... More

In this day and age most hotels are pretty much the same. This hotel on the outset appears pretty much run of the mill. Handily placed 500 yds from junction 8 of the M1 this unremarkable Holiday Inn is a modern,pleasant enough establishment with a nice bar area, an on site restaurant and a small health club/swimming pool. Where this... More

Used this hotel on 3 or 4 previous occasions while visiting the nearby snow centre. Not quite as modern as the nearby HI express or the Premier Inn at Kings Langley but for approx the same price you do have excellent leisure facilities (pool, gym etc), first class manager and staff and a top class breakfast option. As I said... More

The hotel is very easy to find just 2 minutes off the motorwat, there is plenty of free parking, and the reception is typical of a Holiday Inn. The check in was efficient and the hotel had kindly put on kids packs for all children arriving - a nice touch. The room we were in was again typical Holiday Inn,... More

Stayed here last week. Positives include free parking and the customer receptionist/room service. Also there is free gym access. But that is where it ends. Negatives: Unclean. Bottom half of toilet seat was yellow (sorry if you're eating and reading this), lots of lime scale on the taps and bath tiles. Room service is extremely expensive. And check this...it costs... More

Booked this hotel as I needed to break a long journey. Stayed with two children in the room. I guess it would have been a bit squashed with maximum occupancy of four people in the room. The room could do with an update and the bathroom fittings looked tired. When I mentioned this at reception I was informed the room... More
