Tourist Guide

When you travel always be open to new experiences or events. Attending the Notting Hill Carnival was not on my list when I planned my trip to England. My son discovered it was going on while we were there and wanted to go. Now this was definitely stepping out of my comfort zone and I am glad he made me go.

Room was as expected, fairly small but not bad for London. Everything was clean, bathroom was adequate. The temperature in the whole hotel was a little too warm. Overall good for the money. I'd recommend it.
