I believe that the hotel should put some padding stickers on the door frames so the doors don’t bang when closing them.

Not a hotel

No bar, no restaurant, lift doesn’t work and full of families living in the rooms. Staff were really nice and the room was actually nice but it’s not a hotel. 90% occupied by people living in the rooms whilst awaiting being housed elsewhere. That’s fine but should not be advertised as a hotel on hotels.com!

Not a great hot

Hotel was boiling hot, room was very hot and basic, for an executive room. Just a bar of soap in the bathroom, although reception gave me a shower gel when I asked and supplied a fan for the room. Shower was awful would only adjust to boiling hot or freezing cold. Front of house staff were friendly

Very pleasant, recently renovated hotel in a quiet location in Dunstable. Rooms were clean and comfortable, bathroom was great. Only downside (for a recent reno) - no USBs in the room. Almost everyone carries a USB rechargeable device these days, and it's remit of hotel not to provide USB ports, and require us to carry an adaptor. Also, my room had no bedside lights whatsoever and no way to turn off the room light from the bed. Currently no food or drink on site. Though there are walkable options.

It’s clean and the room was in good shape. Front desk person was nice helpful. That said, it looks like a lot of the rooms are longer-term rentals. There were several children playing in the parking lot and running around in the lobby area. I also saw toys in some of the ground floor windows, indicating that people were living there. While the room we stayed in looked recently updated, the lobby is pretty rundown. And the restaurant and lounge are closed (with refrigerators and microwaves in what I assume was previously the dining room—probably for the tenants). It’s too bad because it looked like it was a really cool hotel/tavern/restaurant at a previous point in the past. Not planning on ever being back in this area, but I wouldn’t stay here again.

Well managed family party

Fantastic sevice from Alex, who arranged our family dinner in a private room and was super helpful, and reception were also friendly. Breakfast was a bit of a shambles with staff who couldn't cope and werent professional, but overall a good stay - the food was excellent quality and value. Walled garden is pretty and the old part of the hotel is nice - the new parts lack any sort of character, but are comfortable enough.

4* only if you’re scoring out of 50!!!

Arrived to a beautiful setting. However, room 1 had dirty sheets (blood found on duvet). No towels. 1 worn pillow each. Room badly dated. Moved to a family room. Again, 1 pillow each. Hand towels only. 3rd floor, lift broken. Honestly a poor place to stay. Apart from a comfortable bed this place is awful!

Average

Wedding was going on when checked in . Went out came back to our room at 9 loud disco directly below our room. Would have been impossible to sleep . Called reception who moved us to a new upgraded room at the back of the hotel and floor above and no noise. At breakfast discovered numerous wedding guests had stayed so surely all rooms on the first floor need to be assigned to weeding guests. Also at breakfast huge tables for wedding party meaning felt no room and unwelcome if a wedding is on they need a separate breakfast room . And the wedding party need there own bar and area otherwise you are walking around wedding guests . If not a wedding on be great place to stay if a wedding on would avoid.

Hotel is just starting to come back to life after being used as an emergency accommodation facility. Minimal staff but they were so helpful and friendly. Awful smell in the reception and bar area, suspect carpet needs a professional clean….and the vacuum cleaner they’re using needs changing as it’s pumping put stinky air. Shame, as the OPL was a truly prestigious hotel once, beautiful building, I really truly hope she can recover and get her former glory and reputation back.
