Decent Stay at a Convenient Location

good temperature good room convenient location lower rating quality issue breakfast quality
I found the room temperature to be comfortable. It was not too warm, which I appreciate in hotels. The room size was good. The location was also good for accessing The Royal Albert Hall. It was about a 15-20 minute walk.
The advertisement indicated a four-star rating, but honestly, it was to be a three-star at best. There were some issues with the room. The breakfast quality did not meet expectations for the price. It could have been much better.
