Some niggles, but good value and a pleasant stay
I’ve started here a number of times over recent years as it’s conveniently located near the tube station with good facilities around. My visit on this occasion was just okay but I rated good as the cost was less than £100 per night, so this offset some of my quibbles. My room was very warm the first evening and I couldn’t get the air con to work. It was fixed the next day, although I only appeared to have on or off control and the fan was very noisy. Cooler room though. Breakfast is good value but a little frustrating with waits at the hot plate as whilst waiting for items to be replaced, what was already on your plate was going cold. A wide selection of items and drinks. My bed was comfortable and the room and bathroom clean. The staff are friendly and welcoming.

Great location and stay minus security
Overall a great stay but had a horrid run in with security who accused me of being too loud despite the fact i was visibly in pyjamas watching TV and told me to turn it down at 10pm on a Saturday. I also had a cleaner leave a half finished bottle of water in my room? Overall a good stay but security needs to wind it in.

good price, location and transport connections
Nice place to be close to one of the main London shopping arteries - easily to get anywhere in town. A busy and packed hotel, great if you like the buzz of an "American hotel" experience - which I do. Breakfast ok but certainly better value than some of the fashionable eateries on the high street.
