"I booked a 4-night stay, assuming that because Swiss Cottage is a Best Western property, it would have standard American amenities like air conditioning. My assumption was wrong. I learned that local owners pay a fee to use the global brand name and booking system, but they retain control over the property itself. Swiss Cottage did not have A/C, and the temperature outside was 30-35°C. The hotel is located in a charming historical building, but these buildings were designed with thick brick...

"Short walk from Watford Junction to allow access to London. Very hot night with no air conditioning, but a fan and open windows solved that issue!"

"I had a quick overnight stay at this property where I checked in at 8pm and out at 8.30am the following day. The room was small, which was expected, but spotlessly clean and fresh. The shower was good and the air conditioning effective. I was disturbed on a number of occasions during the night with people talking and doors closing, but that's possibly because I was located so close to reception. I'd consider staying again if the price was right, but ask to be located further away from reception."
