My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although well-decorated and of good quality, varied in size. Overall, the room was clean, but there was a hole in the sheet, which was a bit disappointing. The service was a mix of accommodating and helpful staff along with some unfriendly encounters. The location, while convenient with easy access to transportation and amenities, was a bit of a walk to the tube station. The dining options ranged from terrible to decent.
