Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel is very clean and the staff were nice too. At a point the room was very very cold and I had to call someone several times to come check the room temperature. Basic necessities like slippers and bath robe had to be asked downstairs at the reception. I was shocked about the deposit and it’s been more than a month and I have still not received my deposit back. I tried calling the number provided but was on it for almost an hour and nobody picked up. I will most definitely take legal action against the hotel if my deposit is not being refunded as soon as possible cause this is insane.

Overall the hotel was an excellent experience. It was close to the train which made traveling into the city easier. It is far out from most London restaurants but again the train being so close made it easy to get around. The staff was always available to assist with anything when needed. The bar however was closed during our stay but luckily the restaurant was open with a bar.

Disliked: Amenities
We stayed here for the location primarily, as we needed access to the Excel Exhibition center. While it is connected as advertised, it's not a covered pathway. So if it's raining you will need an umbrella for the short walk. Other than location, we found our stay lacking in many areas for a four star property. The biggest issue was with the temperature control. We had two rooms on the sixth floor, we had to call the service engineer several times to fix the air conditioning. The room would get hot and stuffy and it would take hours to cool down. Toiletries like body lotion had to be asked for from housekeeping. Due to the Pokemon convention, the bar area was full of noisy rambunctious children as late as mid night. The hotel staff made no effort to ensure the other guests weren't disturbed by this. One of the bartenders was rude and condescending during a brief conversation. Food from the dockyard restaurant was also underwhelming. Overall, we won't be staying here for the next convention as there are hotels nearby that provide better value for money.
