OK for a short stay

Shower didn't work properly and pillows very uncomfortable. The room was too hot and couldn't find any way to turn heat down. Breakfast was OK. It's very convenient for town centre and train station.

Great location, offering exceptional value for the price. The room is clean and well-maintained, featuring a comfortable bed; however, an improvement in shower pressure would be beneficial. It is a £15 Uber ride to Luton Airport and just a five-minute walk to the Luton train station.
