This was a terrific stay. The most important thing for me is cleanliness, and this place was extremely clean. After that, it was just wonderful for the price: the room was large, the bathroom was new and had good water pressure, public transportation was right there, there were good rstaurants and a large Sainsbury's right nearby. The staff was friendly and responsive, though sometimes difficult to find. The carpets were, as one reviewer said, threadbare. Another reviewer complained about the bed and pillows, but we slept just fine. Sometimes I happily pay for luxury, but as a base to explore London and then come back and do practical things like a quick bite and my child's bedtime routine before going out again in the morning, this was just as good as it gets. It's a real gem and will be my first choice the next time we come through the area.
