Hotel refresh needed

The hotel is in a good location that could have saved a taxi journey by using the Blue line, but was not advertised. I read there was a bar serving food onsite but that is not correct. Front end staff soured the stay a little by smelling of some substances. Hotel could do more to refresh as it is looking tired.
