Beautiful hotel

We had the room with 2 double beds. It was beautiful-- beds very comfortable. We booked it because it was close to St Pancreas Sation where we were taking a train to Paris. Expensive but worth it for a good night sleep after a long flight.

The fire alarm went of 3 times at about 9:30pm for a few seconds at a time. We called the front desk and they said it was a test. I doubt it was actually for a test, but if it was, probably shouldn’t do a test that late. Other than that, we loved the social hour, dinner, and cocktail lounge!
