i was grateful for the hotel's location near the earl's court tube station. the room i had, a premium queen room, was spacious. i especially appreciated the breakfast. it offered a variety of options.
The bed in the room was very firm. This impacted my sleep quality. the available room had a musty smell. i found the noise from the air conditioning in the room disruptive.
