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.

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.
