A bit pricey, though, thats the drawback. The bast are the Travelodge specials, which are a bit random, and have to be booked WELL in advance.

Hilarious when I got there...the picture was of the first floor - below was a kebab house and my room window backed directly (literally 12ft away) on to a tube track!

Sounds like the " City View Hotel "
The number of bad reviews of this, and similar for the close by "City Inn Express" put me off. I don't mind limited facilities, but things like dirty rooms, broken windows, credit card fraud etc were enough to put me off.
