Exactly. Enough people whom I trust opinions on here have convinced me to stay far away from this hotel.
London is a city where Hilton is definitely the better choice for me. I'll stick with the Trafalgar or the Tower Bridge over the W (and I generally will pick a W if there is one in the city I'm staying in). Outside of the normal chains, The Metropolitan is also a great boutique hotel choice in London.
