decent stay

helpful staffgood locationair conditioningextractor fansmall windowmoving beds
the staff was very helpful, providing information about transportation. the location is great, especially for accessing paddington station. the room had good air conditioning, useful during a warm period.
the bathroom lacked an extractor fan, and there was a slight odor. the window was small, affecting ventilation in the room. the beds moved easily if you sat against the wall (it was somewhat inconvenient).
