My my.... what a place, and i sincerely wish I meant that in a good way!
After finding the hotel, which was central to Marble Arch and pretty much ideal, our group of 5 arrived to check in and our reservation had been messed up, instead of a triple and 2 singles (this was all they had available at time of booking) we had been reserved a double and 2 singles. The best they could offer was to put a 'camp bed' into the double room (i suggested the possibility of upgrading a single to another double and was met with a very un- friendly huff). Seeing as we had no- where else to go and needed to be at a theatre show for the evening, we agreed.
No lift and 3 flights of stairs later- 1 flight to the top floor was steep and very un-forgiving with suitcases and wearing heels, we arrived to our rooms. The 'now' triple was cramped and to get into bed you had sit at the bottom of the bed and crawl up, the bathroom door was off the hinges, cracked tiles and a sink you could barely wash your face in. One single was not actually that bad, except the shower knob came off in your hand and the other single room was hysterical... a shower in the cupboard (literally), wires hanging from the tv around the satellite box (that fell off onto me) leads across the floor and of course the bag over the smoke alarm. Receptionist as apologetic as ever... yeah right!
Didn't even attempt to try and figure out what was on the breakfast menu!
Thank goodness we were only staying for 1 night... oh, and for great friends that made the whole escapade hysterically amusing and a great night out!
