Helpful staff, good breakfast, location, room
Coffee machines at breakfast didn't work properly The "working" table was too small, triangular, and actually inconvenient for working - need something bigger and sturdier

Friendly staff and a good atmosphere. Chloe and Susan did a cracking job behind the bar on a busy weekend.
The showers are a little strange, as the are open (no partitions) with just a curtain.

The location was great for ExCel and the DLR. The hotel was clean and comfortable and we appreciated the breakfast hours being modified to accommodate London marathon participants. But easily the best thing about this place is the staff. Every single staff member we encountered was so friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.
