Just back from a trip to Watford where we stayed at the Park Inn on St. Albans Road.

The room was clean and comfortable; the en suite was fresh with a good shower.

The location at the top of the town centre meant that everything was within walking distance.

The staff were friendly and helpful.

The hotel has on site parking for a very reasonable £7.50 a day.

I would happily stay here again and am happy to recommend it to others - one thing, St Albans Road is a busy road, you might want ear plugs if you are a light sleeper (I am and couldn't hear a thing with mine in!).

I stayed for 4 nights.
I had two choices: Here or Jurys Inn.
Jury's Inn was more expensive and had bad reviews, so I stayed here.

Room is decent. Bathroom is bright and clean.
Staff are polite and helpful. No major issues.
Walking distance to town. Walking distance to the train station.

Issues:
Expect noise from guests in the hallways (Watford folk are not known for being quiet). Sometimes as late as 3am.
For some strange reason the TV kept on turning on automatically at 7:30 in the morning
The checkout bill did not reflect the price I was given during my online booking (although they fixed this error, it shouldn't of happened)

But overall, the experience was a good one.

I stayed here for two nights in January. First impressions of the hotel are clean, nice rooms and friendly staff.

The bathroom is excellent, lovely towels and one of the most powerful showers I have found in a hotel (and i stay in alot!).

I had a 'Business Class' room which i believe are slightly larger than standard rooms and also had Nespresso machine etc. On the posters in the hotel it also claims 'Welcome Drink' and 'Chocolate Plate' on arrival, but these werent provided.

I didnt have dinner in the restaurant so cant comment on that, but I did experience Breakfast, which was an experience.
The selection wasnt great. On the first morning I had to tick what I wanted from a list (i presume the hotel was quiet!) and on the second morning it was buffet style but the eggs etc werent fresh (very hard fried eggs etc). The coffee was lovely.

I also noticed a comment on here regarding the chinese lady at Breakfast; I think the reviewer must have been mistaken as her english was very good and she was extremely friendly and welcoming, a credit to the hotel.

When i returned to my room on my middle day after a long day in London, I noticed that the housekeeper hadnt washed the cups and left them at the side of the bed, no new toiletries and the towel i had used that morning was still on the floor in the bedroom. Not major things, just things that should have been done, but didnt have a massive negative on my stay.

I would say the hotel is good value for what it charges. It is perfect for visiting London as the train station is just 2 minutes walk with trains every few minutes into Euston (15 minutes journey!). Clean rooms, friendly staff and good location, just need to improve on the breakfast!

My hubby and I came down from Edinburgh for a friends wedding, Haven't been to Watford before but this hotel was a nice reception venue and the room was spotless and spacious. would stay here again if were back visiting.
