The room itself was beautiful with an amazing view of the gallery. Completely soundproof. And decorated tastefully. The staff were incredible as well. They consistently made themselves available for questions and assistance (even when some of the questions were a little dumb). Will absolutely stay ...

Room was great, expected to be smallish but comfortable. The high prices perhaps because of the Olympics made this lose a star.
