I found the free ferry to Canary Wharf a real bonus. It offered more transport options. I also appreciated the parking under the hotel. It made things easy. The breakfast had many options (I particularly enjoyed the pastries). I also thought the rooms were modern.

I noticed the room was a bit sparsely furnished.

I found this location to be great with good access to the city. Access to Uber boats is a plus. The C10 bus can take you to your destination, or you can transfer to the underground.
