    This place suits me perfectly, providing wi-fi, 24-hour reception, and a bar/lounge area. The staff's wake-up call service during my first stay was memorable, and they even gave us travel cups for coffee when we left early. I'm definitely coming back for Christmas!

    modern decor, convenient access to train station, spacious family rooms

    The overall cleanliness can definitely use an upgrade!!! The heating system wasn't working properly, leaving the rooms uncomfortably cold for winter nights!!! Room assignments seemed disorganized with maintenance issues lingering longer than they should!!!

    great location
    rude staff

    Had a blast with friends! We visited Vicarage Road Stadium for a Watford match and checked out the Lego store nearby. The hotel was perfect for our group, with clean rooms and a solid breakfast to kick off our days. Great location with easy access to attractions.

    One downside was the rude staff at checkout. they seemed uninterested and dismissive after an otherwise fun stay.

    great location

    i had a pleasant stay at holiday inn. the location is fantastic, just a few minutes from the train station and within walking distance to the bus for the harry potter studios. the staff were friendly and efficient, making check-in a breeze. I appreciated the complimentary breakfast. it's not gourmet, but for free, it was worth it. i enjoyed a relaxed morning chat with excellent service.

    the bathroom door setup wasn't ideal for me.

    limited dinner options

    The hotel was in a fantastic spot for exploring Watford. My boyfriend and I enjoyed visiting the Harry Potter studios, which were just a short bus ride away. The breakfast spread was pretty impressive, and the room was cozy, making our family stay enjoyable.

    My kids wished there were more options for dinner. maybe a few healthier choices would help.
