- What is your Priority Club status?
Platinum

- Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Generally

- Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked standard room for 25K points x 3 nights, c, received same.

- How are the rooms?
Large room with 2 Queen Beds (as requested), clean, comfortable, modern. Hotel had construction on 2 sides of the property during our visit. Slippers, bathrobes***.

- How is the exec. lounge?
N/A, not offered

- What was good and what was bad?
Good - easy access to airports with a tube station just a few feet away; very courteous welcome at 11:00am with an offer to use the gym locker room to freshen up, but they seemed to struggle with which room to give us (darker one available now, brighter one available later, the hotel was nowhere close to full) (we had not requested early check-in)

Bad - heating not working at all in the room at check-in and they did not want to give us a different room, we should just sit there and wait while maintenance fixed it, left to get parts, finished fixing it; very generous gift of a small bottle of water (for 2 people to share over 3 nights ); had to request a 2nd bathrobe (2 guests on the reservation, 2 guests checked in in person) on 2 different days; try getting the gender correct on the bill!

- Value for $ or Priority Club Points?
Good value, considering average hotel prices in London.

- Would you return?
Probably.
