A fair option for a short visit

helpful staffgood locationdirty carpetconstant noise
The staff was helpful, and they let us use the kitchen whenever we wanted. It's good the transport stops are within a 5 minute walk. I stayed for two nights and found the location convenient for getting around.
The carpet was very dirty, and it bothered me. I also noticed a lot of noise from police cars and planes, and it seemed to continue all day and night. It made it difficult to relax in the room.

Checking in was straightforward. I showed my photo id on my phone without issues (physical documents are unnecessary). The location is very convenient. There are buses, the DLR, and a tube station very close by.
The carpets showed some wear.
