The breakfast was a really GOOD choice. I could find many selections catering to various tastes. The room was spacious with a good-size bathroom and a hot shower! The staff was friendly and efficient.

A fairly LARGE gap existed under the door. I could see light from the hallway, slightly disruptive. Bring an eye mask for better sleep.

I stayed for several nights and found the shuttle bus very useful. It provides transport to the airport. The train station offers direct access to central London with tickets available at the airport. The responsiveness of the staff was great. I requested extra coffee for my room and the receptionist quickly provided it.
