Solid Stay near Covent Garden

beautiful bedroom great shower fresh milk

I found the bedroom to be new and beautiful. The shower was particularly great. I appreciated the inclusion of many plugs and mirrors. The little bottle of fresh milk in the fridge made for a proper cup of tea. It was a really nice touch.

The air conditioning was noisy and impossible to turn off. This made it difficult to sleep comfortably. I would appreciate a fix to this issue in the future.
