acceptable stay, minor issues

great locationunresponsive ipadcoffee absence
the location worked well for my travel needs.
The ipad controls were a bit finicky. I found them unresponsive a couple times. also, the lack of tea and coffee facilities in the room was disappointing. i had to go downstairs and pay extra each time i wanted a hot drink.

Modern Stay Near Borough Market

major attractionsconvenient locationcomfortable bedunhelpful chatbot
The hotel is close to Borough Market and major attractions. Bus, tube, and ferry locations are also nearby, which I found convenient. The room's lighting was nice, and I appreciated the comfortable bed. I did notice some wear and tear in the bathroom, but everything was functioning well.
Speaking with someone to resolve issues proved difficult. The chatbot was unhelpful, and I found it hard to get staff to respond. This.
