The free bus zone at LHR was ended in 2021. All buses charge a local fare now which is still half off the usual Hoppa rate (or more). Take bus 105, 111 or 140 down Bath Road to get to most Marriott properties at LHR.

Rates at the moxy heathrow have gone up a lot.
Few years ago they were priced between 30 and 60 GBP per night....now the average is 80 to 95 GBP per night.
For that rate you might as well stay at one of the full service hotels closer to the airport.

At the London Heathrow Marriott right now. 25BP from T5, Uber wanted 30. I would give the Sheraton a shot next time.
Just an hour so far and this stay is... interesting. This is a pretty big hotel and I got my steps in. First set of keys didn't work. Second set of keys did work but they gave us a single king after telling us it was two queens. Third set of keys greeted us to a very poorly kept room. Stains all over the carpet. Stains on the bed. Coffee table unsturdy with missing pieces of stabilizing wood. Dust covering most of the surfaces. Bathroom smells of urine.
Also, oddly the sheet on the bed was also placed wrong, exposing the top 4" or so of the mattress protector, so I had to remake the bed.
Bed looks clean enough and we're here for just 8 hours so we're heading to bed but jeez I'd think I'm at a super 8.

I know you must have been tired of trudging down to the desk, but otherwise, I'd say you shouldn't have to accept a substandard room and they should have moved you.

Maybe a slightly different question but which central'ish London Bonvoy hotel is most convenient to LHR... like 1 Underground train (no connecting), short walk, etc... maybe 20-25 minutes from LHR...

I've always thought the Kensington Marriott was the best for that criteria. Choice of two Piccadilly Tube stops about equidistant.

The Park Tower is right next to the Knightsbridge station (if you can figure out how to get to the right exit). Also Green Park is not far away from the Sheraton Park Lane.
Also, as mentioned above, the Marriott Kensington is a short walk from Gloucester road station.

I should have also mentioned that the Elizabeth Line opens up some other possibilities. For example, I went from Terminal 5 to Canary Wharf Marriott on one train earlier this year. However, as pointed out above, this takes more time.

Looked through some past post but still a bit confused. Is the Renaissance the best option for an early morning T2 departure?
I will be in London Thanksgiving weekend and apparently Heathrow Express is not running at all on Nov 25 and Nov 26

Renaissance is the closest to T2 within the Marriott brand. There's a few hotels at T2/T3. In my experience quickest way to get to T2 in the morning from the hotel would be the public bus, one stop, or uber should you have lots of luggage.

Thanks. Will give Renaissance a shot then. Rate is good.
