8/10 Good
"Very friendly & helpful staff (thank you for changing our two rooms to keep our family together). The hotel has everything we needed for a single night stay before visiting the Warner Brothers studio. The bathroom was clean, just a little dated. The traffic noise was fairly loud on the front of the hotel, but we were able to close the windows thanks to a fan which was supplied by the hotel. The hotel has a very small car park but we arrived fairly early and got a space."
