Great Location and a Cool Room

The location its great with a complimentary ferry to Canary Wharf. From there you access the river boat east or get the DLR. The river and Canary Wharf skyline are great. The staff at reception are friendly and helpful.
Better lighting is needed. I noticed a lot of noise in hallway from slamming doors late at night.

adequate, but with drawbacks
faulty plugsmall room
I was somewhat disappointed with the room i received. It was quite small, and the promised balcony was nonexistent. The shower gel dispenser had fallen off the wall and hit me during my shower. The hairdryer also didn't work initially. A faulty plug caused a delay of over 45 minutes before i could use it.

i found the staff very polite and helpful. the free ferry to canary wharf was convenient (it runs frequently). my room had a larger size than expected, a definite plus.
the check-in process was very slow with long queues. an express check-in for pre-paid stays would improve this.
