 The hotel is next to the tube So perhaps the lower levels might be bothered by the noise 
 After difficult trip and late arrival a very friendly receptionist told me that I would be upgraded to a 12th floor room which was spacious by U S standards clean with a lovely view The breakfast supplemental cost with most rooms was good as far as buffets go especially since espresso is available Full breakfast available at additional charge I wound up eating in the two restaurants and enjoyed my selections at both Again good for hotel food Around the corner from the Circle Line tube so very convenient
