The room was perfectly fine for our needs was clean and roomy as we really only used it as a place to sleep and shower during our stay. The option to get a credit for food if you don't use the room cleaning service was a nice extra to help offset morning coffee and pastries. The staff were all very helpful. Would look to stay again on our next visit to London.
