For dinner, I could not bring myself to go to another Heston restaurant.
No argument. My previous rebuke of Dinner and Heston Blumenthal was removed from this thread, but I will never visit another of his restaurants. Old English pub food doesn't belong in a luxury hotel. Ever. Especially when his team can't even properly prepare it for the pub masses.

The stay really was just fine. The problem I have is that it's just so very mediocre. Everything is ok, with nothing being exceptional. The competition is too fierce in London to suffer mediocre; especially at these prices.

I would return, but only once it is fully finished, and definitely avoid any entry level room.
You would return for such a mediocre product with so many better options available? You're expecting better service and less fruit once the renovations are complete? You confuse me, young sir.
