Exceptional

Feeling HOT, HOT, HOT!! Great...

Liked: I find the staff, facilities and location to be great! It's a very nice facility with lots of room, a great bar and patio.15 minute walk to London Tower, Thames river and bus tours. Nice proximity to resturaunts by a pier.
Disliked: My biggest complaint was the HEAT!! I was on the 5th floor. As you go up, you can feel the heat increasing with every step. I was in a room with 3 others. The temperature, based on an app I installed on my phone would record the temperature. The highest temp was 35 Celsius!! This is at night on August 12. The blinds would not work so the sun would go in the room all day. Even though the fans in the beds and a floor fan they gave me to use were on, the would push the heat around...no relief from the heat.This made it a miserable stay. Can't sleep. Only a couple hours here and there. It would be cooler in the day so would nap for 1-2 hours to make up for it. The sheets would always be soaked with sweat and there was no comfort in sight. Not so bad if for 1 or 2 nights. I was there for 7 nights!It's very difficult to enjoy a trip and go out in the day when suffering from sleep deprivation and heat exposure!If not for the very uncomfortable environment, It would have been a much better experience.The staff did all they could, I don't blame them for the heat. However, better ventelation and other methods, such as Air Conditioning and cooling methods for the building need to be implemented.Other issues:They lock out visitors from the interior patio at 10PM, so all who want relief from the heat need to be out on the streets. As well as smokers, and they are pushed away from the street area to the end of the block to not disturb the neighbors. Laundy is 5 pounds per cycle...expensive.
