This a very old building and the room I stayed in has not been updating in decades, if ever. There is no AC and it was quite warm but there was a small fan that helped a bit. Bathroom was very outdated and it was hard to get a consistent temp to take a shower. Staff seemed to be very attentive. The ground floor lobby has been renovated and looks great. However, I never used the lobby or bar due to it smelling really and of body odor the entire time I was there. They either need to get some ventilation or use air freshener. Likewise, the elevator smelled like pot the entire time. It was the cheapest option in Watford but was still quite expensive based on the quality as well as options in central London. It is also sub par for Best Western chain. A bit of better management could address most of the issues and hopefully they will renovate the rooms..

Staff and breakfast were very good. The lobby area is nice and modern and gives a great first impression however the rooms are dated and in need of a makeover. The bathroom in particular was very disappointing. And at one point there was water coming in through the bathroom ceiling. I called reception and someone come up and advised they had told the room above. Didn't seem surprised that this was happening said it was just overflow.

Poor cleaning standards.

Straight away in corridors floors and walls were filthy even in the lift. Our room was worse- clumps of dust in the bath tub, dirty handprints and food and drink splattered on the walls, doors, floors and surfaces. Thick dust everywhere including the fan in 32degree weather… hairs in the bed and more. Not normally one to complain but I felt it had not be cleaned from previous stay so I went to show the front desk pictures of the room and we got “upgraded” to an executive suite. This room was just bigger with a sofa but I would not call it an upgrade- floor had not been hoovered there was an even thicker layer of dust on everything including the fan again, the limescale and dirty around the bath, sink and walls was disgusting. Even the bin had not been emptied. Front desk asked how the new room was and I showed them pictures and explained I’m still not happy it is dirty and I have no where else to stay for the night as it was 9pm and not from the area. They had nothing to say, until I started to walk to the bar and both team on shift started talking about us and how we are a problem not their cleaning. Staff did not want to speak to us for rest of our stay. Emailed to complain and even with photos attached from both rooms its just not up to my “expectations” and it’s not their poor cleaning standards to blame… Been offered 30% off my next stay. What a joke will not be staying somewhere that let their rooms fester and treat guests this way again.

Noisy

No sound insulation between rooms (could hear conversations from rooms on both sides), plus a poorly fitted interconnecting door between rooms made sound insulation even worse. It didn't help that the occupant next door was taking loud calls in the early hours, going out then returning to the room (make your own conclusions as to why he might have been doing that...)
