Ramada by Wyndham London Stansted Airport

Everything was great, a big, clean room, staff very friendly.

Comfortable beds. 24 hour reception (I arrived at 4 am and check in was remarkably quick). Good value for money. Friendly staff.

On our arrival, there were two large silverfish running around in the bathroom sink. I'm a nature lover so for me, this was a bonus. The A/C equipment and fresh air supply system are dated. I had to imagine that I was on a cruise ship and that the noise was that of the boilers running in the background. This was somewhat confusing when I woke up the following morning since I'd already been travelling by ferry earlier in the day and I thought I was still on one. Besides the lack of noise attenuation, there was also an intermittent buzzing noise from the branch selector/connector box on the local A/C system (Room 210). Fortunately I didn't find the on/off controls for the A/C until the following morning, so it didn't affect my sleep, although it was quite warm in the room without it. At breakfast, the cooked food was only warm, not hot. The food did not appear to be getting enough heat off the bain marie or the overhead lights. Nevertheless, it was enjoyable and tasted nice to the weary (and hungry) traveller. There was only one person on duty in the restaurant when I went down and they appeared to have been tasked with looking after two young children as well as their other duties in the restaurant. There did appear to be a breakfast waiter, but he did not appear until we had finished eating.
