great earl's court stay

cute staffearly check-instocked coffee stationmissing amenities
i found the staff very cute i also appreciated the early check in the hotel accommodated my luggage after checkout. my room included a fully stocked coffee station a fridge with bottled water and a safe for valuables. i was able to log into my netflix account on the tv it was easy to relax.
the hotel advertises itself as 4-star but lacks some expected amenities there is no bar restaurant or room service available. i also wasn't thrilled with the open authorization taken on my card for a security deposit it made me a bit uneasy.

mixed feelings about this stay

small roomunclear process
The room was quite small. i booked what they called a beautiful double, but space was limited. also, the security deposit felt a bit off. I did not like that a large sum was held on my card for potential damages. it made me uneasy, especially without a clear process for verifying any issues.

the location was good, near the tube station. the room was clean and newly renovated. air conditioning in the room was a bonus for me.
the staff repeated the no smoking policy multiple times upon my arrival, even though i don't smoke. i felt targeted because of this repeated reminder. the room was also opened without my consent.
