Clean, convenient and reasonably priced.
Pros:

check-in quick and easy. Room was comfortable and warm. Excellent shower. Breakfast was good value. Easily accessible from North Circular Road. Lots of local buses,

Cons:

Car park was large but nearly full. Parking quite expensive, even with discount. Quite difficult to reach without a car. No character: a sleeping factory (but you get what you pay for).
