dlr stationfriendly staffdecent breakfastcoffee facilities
The DLR station is a short walk from the hotel , providing convenient access to transportation. I found the staff friendly , resolving issues promptly. The breakfast offered a decent selection of choices. The room included coffee facilities , which I appreciated.
The room lacked a refrigerator , which would have been useful for storing drinks and snacks.

I was a bit disappointed with the breakfast. the selection seemed limited, and the quality of the sausage was quite poor. also, i encountered an issue with the bathroom sink. It drained very slowly (i wonder if it was clogged).
