I really don't understand all the poor ratings here on Yelp. For a 3-star hotel this place was excellent. The hotel was clean, staff were nice, the room was spacious and well-stocked (apartment-sized fridge (about 5 feet tall), 2 element stove, dishwasher, microwave, pots, pans, china and cutlery), WiFi was free (and fast and reliable), parking was plentiful and free, and breakfast was free. All this for $99 a night? Fantastic!
I took lots of pictures to give you an idea of the space. The hotel was pretty clean. When I stay at hotels I always bring Clorox wipes and I give most surfaces a wipe before I settle in. The wipes were still white afterwards (not all grey and grimy), so I was happy.
Staff were friendly. When we were checking in, the staff member took a little bit longer with the previous customer than usual (I overheard that the customer had accidentally booked the wrong day), so when it was our turn, the staff member apologized several times for the wait. He was nice, informative and efficient.
Breakfast was pretty good for a complimentary hot breakfast buffet. I liked the way they did their eggs (see picture). They also had two waffle makers. They had round sausages, which are great for making English Muffin sandwiches, especially with the eggs fried in the round moulds. They had yogurts, pre-packaged muffins, cereals, bagels and toast. My only complaint is that the dining area was packed when we went down for breakfast and there were literally no seats for us, so we had to bring our food back to our room to eat.
The location is right off the 401, so convenient in that regard, but it's not in downtown London. However, you can walk to several restaurants, so you're not in the middle of nowhere. read more
