Wow! Which room did you stay in - ie, what number -, and what furniture was looking battered?
The South Wharf is a five star hotel, and there's really no excuse for furniture looking like to belongs in a hostel. You can PM me the info.

As Serfty noted, there are both curtains and a motorised black-out blind in all rooms. I'm sorry you missed that.

That's too bad. I personally like the suites, but I'm
clearly biased, and understand that your stay was disappointing.
On an unrelated note, I have a question for the FT community.
What can South Wharf do to make your HH experience better?
Keep in mind that suggestions like "free internet" are - while *ahem* understandable

- not decisions made by each hotel.
We'll be doing a department brainstorm soon, and I want to present some ideas from the dark side (ie, guest point of view) to contrast with what our internal ideas are. I'd love some South Wharf specific comments.
I'll take some bits & pieces from the wider forum as well...but
your ideas are appreciated.
