“The hotel's greatest asset appears to be its staff, frequently described as friendly and accommodating, plus guests can benefit from complimentary airport transfers and a daily hot breakfast. However, the inconsistent upkeep and cleanliness raise concerns; future guests should carefully weigh these factors. Despite its convenient location near Ilford train station and Westfield Stratford City, some accommodations seem to fall short.”

I found the location quite good. it was very close to the train station. i also noticed many restaurants nearby. This was convenient.
The receptionist was not very friendly when i arrived. i was told that check-in could only be done at 2:00 pm. they wanted to charge an extra fee for checking in earlier. also, the key cards did not work well. I had to reactivate them twice .
