YepTB lounge is one of my favourites now, especially in the summer months out on the terrace and the last time I stayed at PL the lounge offerings was the best Ive ever seen..good choice!

While there is no lounge and the room s are basic, I like the doubletree west end. It's only one subway stop past Covent Gardens on the underground and great location and ok buffet breakfast. If I'm paying in cash cash the room rates are lot cheaper and if using points it's 60K points a night.
On the charges for breakfast, now that I think about it I was charged for a diet coke a couple years ago at breakfast which I thought was odd. Now I just go to the lounge and grab one. Wans't a big deal, but I wasn't told ahead of time or even after and it was on the folio when I checked out. I had a stay on points/FNC and when I checked they said there was a charge for something like 5 pounds and I asked what it was and they said it was for a diet coke. Aburud amount for a small bottle of diet coke.
Another thing I like aobut the Waldorf is the top shelf of the mini fridge can be used for food storage. I always like to buy cheeses to bring home from Neals Dairy year and it's nice having the fridge to store it in.
