Economical choice with a good location. Clean rooms but not restful.
Pros:

It was easy.to get to Heathrow in the morning. It was clean. Air conditioning was in good working order and appreciated. Staff in the bar were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The self check in was poorly designed and seemed to take more personal data than usual or necessary. The toilet in my room made alarming gurgling sounds all night.

Quite a long way from terminal 5 - expensive taxi journey and pickup bus infrequent. No lift so had to carry suitcases upstairs.
