Really enjoyed my stay. Public transport options are very good as you have easy access to the underground to get you around as well as buses. There’s loads of food options in the area so you’re spoilt for choice. The hotel itself is very clean and the staff were friendly. I will definitely be returning in the future. Only due to personal preference if I had to choose one negative it would be the positioning of the television.

The on site dining options are limited to a menu in the bar. Breakfast buffet is good but expensive. The onsite Starbucks has few options and closes early. Uber eats is the only option within 4 blocks after 8. The hotel is in a residential area so it’s quiet but everything is a few blocks walk back to the Main Street, buses, shops, dining. Not convenient for anyone with limitations!
