the location is convenient with easy access to nearby attractions (i appreciated that). the staff were helpful and accommodating . the room was very comfy and tidy with a nice double bed.
the front door was quite run down and didn't give a great first impression. the decor and furniture looked aged. i could hear tube trains running below, a bit disruptive to my sleep.

I found the location very convenient. It was a short walk from Euston and King's Cross. There was also a pub across the street. The staff was very nice and helpful at all times. The room was perfect for my needs because I did not spend much time there.
The building felt somewhat tired, and could definitely use some updates.
