 For no apparent or explained reason it took forever to check in the receptionist seemed unable to locate the reservation for my colleague Mrs Ball The hotel was apparently undergoing renovation though there was no evidence of it and the TV in the room only had 3 channels strangely with german script The furniture in the room dresser and table were clearly old worn and of very poor quality I have stayed in this hotel many times over the years and this trip simply did not measure up to previous visits
 Really comfortable night s sleep and fantastic views of the Park and central London
