Really good Stay in Covent Garden

spacious suitelively atmospherewelcome drink
I appreciated the upgrade to the Suite. It was spacious and stylish. The live music at the QT bar added to the overall modern and lively atmosphere of the hotel. I also received a welcome drink of juice upon arrival, a very nice touch (I was thirsty after traveling!).
Check-out experienced some delays, but the desk promptly addressed the discrepancy in charges.
