The guided tour upon check-in was excellent. It gave a comprehensive overview of the hotel. The staff demonstrated professionalism and friendliness. I had a smooth experience. The location offered convenient access to key areas. I could easily walk to Green Park station. I visited a nearby theatre at Piccadilly.
