Good choice!
Room was good, seemed all clean. Check-in was very friendly, though worth bearing in mind they put a £50 deposit hold on your card at check-in that lasts up to a couple weeks. Location is good, airport noise not as well kept out as I'd like, but not an issue at night. Only dissapointment, I requested a wake-up call which never came, so double check that if you'll really need one.

I booked a room at 2am on the early morning if the 22nd through this app which was showing bookings for the night of the 21st still and which I needed. I was told at reception that my booking was for the evening of the 22nd not the 21st as advertised then turned away to have no where to sleep for the night. When checking the booking the next day it said I had missed the booking as it was for the 21st

Comfortable clean hotel with good breakfast
Great hotel - it is a trek outside of London and ten miles from Kings Cross but the Elizabeth Line and DLR make it accessible and convenient. Breakfast is good. Rooms comfortable clean and tidy. Some noise from the nearby airport but that’s to be expected given the location. We would stay again though it’s a bit too far out for a weekend in central London hit price drove our decision to book here as it’s far cheaper than city centre hotels. DLR is 5 minute walk away.

Some training required.
We have stayed in this hotel before and not experienced any issues. Mostly this stay was good but there were a few administrative issues and the manager would not take responsibility. At one stage he suggested that, within our party of 6 rooms, we had ‘mixed up’ our room keys. After spending a great deal of time I thought correcting errors over lengths of stay, check out dates etc I left the hotel for a few hours. When we returned our room had been checked out. He insisted I must have had my room key next to my phone. However, the second key which hadn’t left the room also failed to operate. Housekeeping were constantly knocking on our door to check us out both on the right day and the wrong day. They would all benefit from some refresher training. Although we have found the same issues in several of the holiday inn express hotels. Staff are unaware of room service times, food service times or check out arrangements.
