White Lodge Hotel, Hornsey

I shouldnt have sat on the bed begire the pic...
Its a b&b basically.  Staff very friendly in the mirning but otherwise not around much.  Printed out a document for me for free, but had to iron my shirts in the dining room.  Breakfast a sort of continental but they do boiled eggs and toast.  Down the hill from Crouch End.  I may never be back but its not a bad place.

Last week's hotel Clayton Crown Hotel, Cricklewood, London

Well an odd one, but good.  An old Raj Style pub with a modern wedding type hotel on the side. Worked well. Right on Cricklewood high road.

Cant see a need to,stay there again, but would.

Last night's hotel: London Continental Hotel

I dont remember them having a lift.  But they do.  Wifi not working, nor the shower.  But still close to where I needed to be.

They are having work done so little parking and no cooked breakfast.  Cold because heating turned off in the night. usual wifi charges and that rubbish combined body wash/shampoo device in shower.

Last night's hotel: Centre Park Hotel, Hyde Park, London

Pretty ok, really.  Just off Hyde Park, and near a couple of tube stations.  £151 for 2 nights, no breakfast.  Room nice but a bit dark.
I'll look at it again.

Last night's hotel: Comfort Inn, Edgware road, London

Edgeware road is long, and one end of it is posh. Mthus is the other end.  Turn right out of Edgeware Road tube station.  Hardly Beirut, that you might think it because if the Lebanese restaurants.
The wifi was free but didnt work.  The continental breakfast was very good.  The shower was fine but oddly small because there was room for a bigger one.  Maybe I'm just fat.
There might have been a roach but it was clean enough.  So fine but basically £20 too expensive.  But then again London appeared full and my usual haunts were another £20 more ahain.

Just up from old haunts.  No breakfast but a real bargain.  Dont know if that will last.
Reasonable wifi, good if small shower. No lift

Last night's hotel: Travelodge, London Docklands

Fairly standard, though stifflingly hot.  Very close the DLR but tucked away behind a building in India Docks.  Wifi good, breakfast at the good end of Travelodge standard.  Cheap too.

Last night's hotel : Park Plaza, Riverside London

Ooh what a location - opposite Millbank.  I didnt have a room with a view. BUt I bet they are amazing.  I also didn't pay - but it cant be cheap.
Wifi free and ok to good.  Shower fine apart from the usual problem of elegant but unfathomable controls.  Room spacious and comfy.  Breakfast not perhaps as top notch as the rest, and they could do with more lifts.
