My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were great and well-equipped, conveniently located near our evening venue and the hospital. However, cleanliness left something to be desired with stray black hairs in the bathroom and a grubby bath. The service was a bit of a hit and miss, with some staff being very helpful but others coming off as cold and abrupt. The location was excellent, offering easy access to tube stations, bus stops, and mainline rail. Unfortunately, the dining experience was underwhelming and not worth the money, although the sandwiches were tasty.

The hotel rooms were spacious and well-fitted out with everything you might expect in a home. However, the lack of air conditioning and only a fan made the rooms extremely hot, making it hard to sleep.
