inviting rooms attentive service bright room broken door
My room, the brompton suite, felt so spacious and so comfortable. It became my sanctuary after each day. breakfast happened in inviting rooms and it. i enjoyed the attentive service i received.
the window coverings didn't keep the light out! the room was very bright all night. the bathroom door handle was broken. this did cause some frustration.

basic decor minimal amenities
The location was great. It was a short walk to the tube station.
The room felt very basic for the price I paid. It reminded me of a standard room from a chain hotel. The decor lacked character, and the amenities were minimal, so the room did not feel luxurious.
