 The room was a little tatty It was clean enough but it was glacial and there was a light fixture dangling out of the ceiling I suppose it gave the hotel a very typical Dickensian feel but at 200 pounds a night I think Charles would have something to say about it 
 The location and staff were ideal In terms of being there during a busy conference it meant that many of the amenities were unavailable one being the lovely lobby area the bar and accompanying restaurants
