Good Plat Experience

So yeah, I really did enjoy this property.
Had a one-night wknd stay, as Platinum was upgraded from booked Couchette room to Cubitt room.

Easy peasy tube ride from Heathrow to King's Cross. Just a few steps and inside the small lobby. I arrived at 11am, but was told my room would be ready at 12:30pm. (No issues for me waiting for an upgraded room. And yes, the SPG app showed the upgrade as well.)

Front desk was friendly, but not over-the-top friendly; so in my book, adequate and sufficient. Front desk agent recommended that I choose the breakfast over the Pts. (Much better value, as it was anything on the menu.)

Had a few drinks & dinner at the bar. Bartender Fabio is amazing! He takes a lot of pride in his job, and very service-oriented.

The pantry - LOVE this concept! I must've had like 10 Nespressos. (Possibly more?) I even own a machine at home, but was unable to get the machine in my room working. But the pantry concept is pretty cool. Had my first mince pie in there... that was yummy.

Comfortable rooms, friendly staff all throughout the property - - I will definitely consider this property on a future London stay.

I was fortunate to get a last-minute C+P rate this time.
