Check-in/Check-out
- Our room wasn’t ready when we arrived, but they held our bags and called us around 2 pm (standard check-in is 3 pm) to let us know it was ready. They actually brought our bags to our room (first experience for me!)
- With our Guest of Honor, we were given Lounge access upon arrival and were able to grab some snacks and drinks before heading out to explore.
- Check-out is at 12 pm, and we didn’t need late check-out.
Room

- Very clean, with good layout and closet
- Small fridge for drinks and tea/coffee supplies

Amenities
- With status, choose between breakfast at the club lounge or the buffet on the first floor.
- We chose the buffet because the selection was fantastic with plenty of vegetarian options.
Service
- Staff were absolutely lovely. The doorman welcomed us every time with, “Welcome home!” and tipped his hat.
- Housekeeping was provided daily.

Value
- For us, this was a really perfect location. We’ve been to London several times, and it was nice to stay in a less touristy area. The points per day were higher than we’d normally redeem, but the location, lounge, and breakfast made the value worth the points.
Highlights
- The breakfast and lounge cannot be beat for the value and quality of food/service.
- The location was perfect for this trip with several options for transit, shopping, and dining within a few minutes’ walk.
Drawbacks
- If this was my first time in London and I wanted to be near the more famous sites, I’d probably pick a more central hotel. But we really enjoyed avoiding the crowds of this location.
Would I stay again? Yes, I would 100% stay again. The location, food, and access to transit and shops are perfect!
