Acceptable Stay, Some Disappointments

noisy fans odd decor
The room décor seemed odd. There was a random black panel alongside an orange stripe (I really did not understand that design choice). The extractor fans outside my window were noisy when it was open. These fans caused a constant drone. The sound was distracting and affected my sleep.

helpful staff central location
the staff was excellent and very helpful. the location was very central, and we could easily walk to any place. trains and tubes were close. central areas were easily accessible.
the bath was dirty. i discovered this late at night when i returned and wanted to have a bath. the duty manager seemed uninterested when i mentioned it the next morning. he showed zero interest in my bad experience.

good choice friendly staff comfortable bed
the breakfast has good choice. staff are friendly and helpfull. the rooms include comfortable bed. i appreciate their offer of assistance in case of a fire alarm, as i use a wheelchair.
i found the water pressure in the shower a little weak, it makes rinsing off soap take longer. this wasn't a major problem, but a stronger flow would be more convenient.
