I have to agree with Brian on all accts. We stayed there on our first visit to London in May 2003, and were upgraded from a std award cert to a river view, with great views of Big Ben and Parliament (no status or fee, they were just empty that week). Every time we looked out the window, it was like "WOW!!!". But the hotel restaurants were poor, and there was little within walking distance (though we found a little hole-in-the-wall place nearby that had good, cheap 'full English breakfasts'!!!). We are very glad we stayed there for our first trip, but would probably stay somewhere else on the next trip.
We also enjoyed the Champes-Elysees on our first trip to Paris this year. Great location, Very expensive, not great restaurant (though we liked sitting in the cafe out front associated with the restaurant - better, more reasonably priced food there - and great people-watching).
