 The hotel is undergoing some sort of construction which I understand but meant that we always had to walk around to the front of the building The elevators for some reason operate independently which means that you have to press both buttons in order to call both elevators in case one is going somewhere or is stalled which is very inefficient The door locks did not work when we checked in and so we had to have someone come to the room to repair them My room service order was appallingly cold Eating a burger that cold so cold that I spent half my time eating prodding it to detect any warmth is very disconcerting and made me ask management if anyone is even on staff to cook late at night To their credit they removed the room service charge and offered us complimentary breakfast for the rest of our stay a more than fair offer Finally while I appreciated the hotel s attempt at using technology in new and innovative ways I must say that the missed the mark a bit First the interface on the tablet that controls the room is appalling I would never put something that ugly anywhere much less a luxury hotel Second technology should make things simpler and not more difficult Simple things like changing the temperature of the room became a confusing mess as the interface is poorly laid out and the panel is slow and poorly responsive 
 I liked that the staff worked hard to make sure that our stay was good and to rectify the hiccups with our room and room service order The breakfast which was comped as restitution for the room service mishap was pretty good but the lack of selection meant that I got weary of the full english after a couple days I also liked that the hotel is trying to use technology in new and interesting ways even if the end result didn t quite hit the mark I connected my tablet to the TV and was able to listen to music nicely The bathroom was beautiful and the shower was great Lastly the location of this hotel as plusses and minuses On the plus side it is located a short walk to a couple of Underground stations and from the Shoreditch area On the other hand in the immediate vicinity of the hotel there is not much in the name of fun Still we enjoyed walking to Shoreditch on one evening and to the Tower of London during one of our tourist adventures
