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.
