The Watford Hotel was clean. The breakfast had very good options. However, slept poorly as the bed was ultra firm. Our adult son stayed with us for one night, and stated he didnt sleep well in his bed either. Bed was too hard.

Stayed 2 nights here and unfortunately would never return. Room was right above the front desk and both nights, in the middle of the night, there was very loud banging and cart type noises for a couple hours which kept us awake. Bed was also uncomfortably hard. Highlight was the coffee/tea bar if the water is hot…
