Warriors Junction is a solid four‑star choice that met our needs perfectly. The rooms were comfortable and well‑maintained, with nothing to complain about, while the bathrooms were particularly nice—clean, modern and well‑equipped. The location couldn’t be more convenient for travel, especially via Watford Junction and the Lioness line, as well as other train and bus connections. Great for commuters and visitors alike, it combines practicality and comfort in a professional, no‑frills way that makes it easy to recommend.
