This week's hotel: Travelodge Waterloo Central, London

Apologies for me scruffing the room up before the photo.  What is there to say.  It's a Travelodge. Quite close to Waterloo Station IF you know how to get out of Waterloo station.  I didn't.  And so it was a bit of a hike. Not their fault.

Unlike the lack of free WiFi, or shampoo.  I am sure that all helps keep the rates very reasonable, but it is a bit of a downer to have to go to the corner shop for shampoo.  Also luckily there is a corner shop on the corner.  Possibly on both corners of the block.  It is well served, along with a Sainsbury's express opposite Waterloo station.

The shower only worked if you held the head in place, but to make up for that they offered me a free breakfast.  Sadly I had already eaten.

Clean enough, safe enough, and probably reasonable enough (I didn't choose or pay - seems to be £88/night).  Not quite the Ritz Carlton though.
