Balanced stay experience

breakfast buffetplant based milkseasy accessdated roompower outletspoor pressure

The breakfast buffet had good options. I found plant-based milk, yogurt, and sausages were available. The location is convenient to Shepherds Bush station. It was easy to access transportation.

The room felt dated. I noticed zero power outlets near the bed. The television did not show HD quality. The shower had poor water pressure.
