After a very long day, the hotel rooms helped me relax with their spacious layout and very comfy beds. The rooms were decent-sized, clean, had good lighting options, and were nicely decorated. However, the hotel seemed extremely busy. Despite this, it offered a decent size, clean rooms with good lighting options and nice decorations.

The staff informed me about basic things like how to navigate the village or reach the airport. They were not very helpful initially, signaled by one staff member wearing fingerless gloves, but eventually promised to address maintenance issues promptly.

Location

The hotel is located in a quiet residential neighborhood, not far from the university. While it's not suitable for those without a car due to the distance to town, walking along the pretty river Thames route can be enjoyable.
