A SUPERB Stay in Covent Garden!

helpful staff short walk
The location was indeed convenient for seeing a West End show. The theater was a short walk away. The staff was attentive and helpful, checking if everything met my needs and offering assistance with everything. It was proactive service. I also liked that the hotel smelled AMAZING!!!
I found that the bar was understaffed. One person worked behind the bar during busy times. I wanted to order food, but left due to the long wait.
