Location, miles away from nearest decent town, Taxi drivers taking a lend wanting £40.00 for 15 mile journey!!! At hotel bar, paying top whack all night, after purchasing and consuming 5 'Bacardi Breezer Mojitos' we noticed that all the bottles served to us were aprrox 3-4 months out of date. When we informed the member of staff, we we told 'oh sorry'. No refund or a courtesy drink was offered, which we expected at the least. Very dissapointed.

I booked this hotel because it was cheep, for the price the room was large, clean and comfortable and the staff were friendly This is a cheap hotel compared to others and to be honest it isn't as nice as some others I've stayed at but for the price it is not bad, it is in need of some modernising, but perfectly ok for a nights stay. The quality of the cooked breakfast ingredients was not great but again it was cheap at £5, so you get what you pay for. I would recommend this hotel but only if you are not too fussy.

Not a great deal. It was very close to my appointment though. Shabby rooms, poor service, poor quality of food and waiting period for my food and resturant service was very poor.

Convenient location - reason for choice. Reception on arrival fairly brusque. On departure very good. Breakfast service poor. Nothing else used. Late entry at night with code provided; but the key pad impossible to read in the dark. A good job I carry a torch.

It was tidy and comfortable and close to where we were going. One item - we were a couple in a double room but there were only towels for one. We arrived late and could not call for a second set. Otherwise the service and hotel were fine.

Basic accommodation at a reasonable price I did not feel that the evening meal was particularly good value for money. It was average pub food but quite expensive and my "with salad" was actually just lettuce! Maybe the menu should have less choice but lower price, or better quality food.

The staff did every thing they could to help. Very friendly With family and friends we had ten rooms. Rooms on first floor were so hot, radiators pumping out heat, dangerous to touch. So hot everyone had to open windows. Reported to staff.

We were a group of 16 people and we all found the staff excellent. They thought laterally and accommodated us for lunch in the main restaurant although we only wanted bar meals. Nothing was too much trouble. ! room didn't have curtain but after mentioning this another room was offered. Rooms had poor lighting and one had a dirty carpet Definitely needs a touch of paint and updating

The staff were very helpful, lovely and very accomodating. Although booking.com advertised this hotel as having room service, and it doesn't, the staff were happy for me to eat in my room. (I don't like eating alone in a restaurant). The food was lovely. The location was perfect for my purpose and although my sat nav didn't take me to the hotel, the staff again were more than happy to give me excellent directions. The room had everything I needed and was clean and well presented. It was uncomfortably warm when I got there, but I opened the velux window and turned the heating off to make the room a more comfortable temperature for me. Couldn't ask for more. I would happily stay in this hotel again and would recommend this hotel for anyone staying in the immedidate area. Thank you

The staff at The Airman were exceptionally friendly and could not be more helpful. They went far beyond the call of duty when offering to help us with some transport difficulties we were experiencing. It's snowed overnight and the staff we up bright an early trying to clear the drive so visitors could get away after their stay. A huge thumbs up to the staff who really put the icing on our stay, thanks you so much. The rooms are basic, but comfortable with plenty of hot water and heating. We stayed in a family room, which we could not book online. We booked 2 rooms as the online booking system did not show a 4 person family room available. When we arrived we found we had 2 singles in our room as well as the double. The hotel immediately without quibble refunded the full amount for the extra room. A great value hotel with great access to the A1.

The location was the only good thing for us. I can only comment on room 28 which was not fit for habitation. Had we not been committed to meeting friends living nearby, we would have got, however back in the car and found somewhere else. The carpet was absolutely manky and that was highlighted as some furniture had been removed from the room. The bathroom was superficially clean but there were too many deep seated deficiencies to list: the bath mat was caked with a disgusting black crust. Needs a lot of work.

Cheapest hotel in Stevenage area the night we needed to stay. Comfortable room, easy parking, rural location, but only 20 minutes from Stevenage. Being located on a fairly busy roundabout, but most of the traffic noise was kept out by good double-glazing and there was little traffic except at morning rush-hour.

The staff are friendly , & the food up to a good std. It is also handy for a lot of other places near by, although the address of Meppershall is misleading , because in the dark the village is not that close to the hotel.In essence you have stay on the main road (a 507) My original internet booking seemed very good value for money , (About £50 / night) , however I found when having to include breakfast the rate for b&b had risen to £62.50 or thereabouts.....this was not obvious from the website, which I consider an unexpected turn of events to the dis- service of the hotel, & having stayed there in 2010 this had not happened then. I assume a change of management has taken place since my last stay , & has instituted this change of policy, which I was not pleased about.

The sheets were clean. The room was spacious and tidy. There was a shower over the bath, but no shower curtain. Mentioned to receptionist, but no action. The dining room was being redecorated so we had to have breakfast in the bar. Woken by breaking glass at 0420. Asked for a quiet room (in response to booking preferences option), but given a room overlooking the a600, a long straight fast road.

The hotel is clean, slightly tired looking in places and staff friendly. Local taxis have to be booked well in advance as they are quite spask in the area. This is something that we were not aware of on booking so this actually cut short our actual vist to friends who live 3 miles from the hotel.I Would suggest that if you need a taxi you ask for taxi numbers on booking in order to avoid this.Unfortunately the bar of the hotel was closed at 1030pm on a Saturday night on our return from our visit to friends.
