comfortable bednight noisedoor knocking
The bed was quite comfortable. I will give them that.
the noise at night? atrocious. some good souls decided 1:00 am was the perfect time for a door-knocking convention right outside my room. it was less a hotel and more a sleep-deprivation chamber.

true friendlinessriver thamesstupendous viewsridgeway walk
the staff showed true friendliness. i appreciate its situation near the river thames and thames path. views from the hill were actually stupendous!!! i also like paul did some laundry for me. it was marvelous as i walked the ridgeway.
the little details were somewhat lacking. there was no toilet paper, only one coffee pod and no kettle. no soap by the sink. i noticed a noisy refrigerator trailer outside, running all night.

Simple and Convenient Stay

friendly staffconvenient locationcomfortable bedmissing capsules
I found the staff members very friendly and helpful. The hotel's location near the Thames Path made walks easy. The room I had was quiet because it was to the side of the main pub. I thought the bed was comfortable for a good nights sleep.
The coffee machine in the room used capsules to heat water, but no capsules were provided. It was hard to get hot water without them. I wish the hotel had included these for guest convenience.
