My boyfriend and I were in London for rock the park and stayed here for one night. The staff were very kind and welcoming, the area around was a nice neighborhood. It was about a 30 minute walk to the festival about 20 minutes from downtown. Breakfast was included, it was yummy. I would definitely recommend staying here

Staff was lovely, room was great and the building is stunning. Only comment would be that they had multiple events on and there wasn't adequate parking for overnight guests when we arrived to check in, although they do have an agreement with a property close by.

Very quaint and comfortable

I used to always stay in a downtown hotel but lately safety has been an issue when travelling alone. I enjoyed my stopover at the Inn and will get back there anytime I need to make a stopover in the London area.

Elegant yet cozy

My daughter and I had a wonderful night’s stay. The breakfast buffet was delicious and service was impeccable. We would return. I also left earbuds in the room. They took the time to call me so that I had a chance to pick them up. Not every hotel would do that. I am so appreciative.
