adequate stay, some issues present

small room scratched furnishings
The room was small (i had a superior towre hyll king). the furnishings seemed scratched, like they needed replacement. the elevators were quite slow. At least one was always out of service, requiring me to take the stairs to avoid long waits.

the aldgate station access was convenient. i found several eating places just across the street. a tesco mart was also a short walk (about 5 minutes) away.
the tv had limited facilities. it lacked smart tv channels, which i expect in a modern hotel.
