“The proximity to Stansted Airport stands out as a key advantage for this lodge, especially for those with early flights. However, the basic nature of the accommodations should be considered, and I noticed some comments mentioned issues with cleanliness and room maintenance. For travellers prioritizing budget and location above all else, this option may suffice.”

non-functional tv foul odor

The room looked clean at first glance. the TV did not function, a significant drawback as I wanted to unwind before my flight. the bathroom emitted a foul odor, seemingly originating from the drains. It made the room unpleasant to be in, and I had to keep the door closed to minimize the smell..
