2/10 Terrible

Lisa, Muncie

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
I had 3 rooms here for my family for 2 nights. No air conditioning! Asked for fans multiple times and only 1 room received one. It was like a sauna in those rooms! Our room was above the outdoor bar and car drop off so we heard partying all night, and then when that stopped we heard every car drop off after that. Between the heat and the noise none of us slept for 2 days straight. Do not stay here.

Won't stay here again

I really did not like this hotel. The reception service is slow. The room was hot with the window only opening a crack and there being no air con. I did ask for a fan for the second night and they gave me one which helped. The lifts are slow

The hotel is in a great location, the rooms have recently been renovated, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The not so positive is that there is no fridge in the room, nor air conditioner (it was hot). Also, the check in is slow because there were 4 counters and the hotel seems to have 1000 rooms. The check in starts at 2pm and many guests come that time. There should be a dedicated counter for groups. There is no couch for people to sit down while waiting in the main foyer. Still a good hotel, but can be excellent if those details are addressed.

It was a very hot night in London and there is no air condition, unfortunately there are restraints on the windows so it is impossible to get any real air in the room when it is hot

It was over 33 degrees outside and the top floors were so hot, at one point our room was reading at 40 and there weren’t enough fans for every room. The first fan we had didn’t work and we requested another. Housekeeping took it the next day.

Very well located next to a grocery store, shops, and restaurants. A souvenir stand near by offers items at half the cost of Piccadilly. Russell Station is 2min walk away. Half the hotel is renovated half us not. Reno side was nice. No AC!!! Made 33above unbearable. Otherwise an affordable well positioned location.
