My husband and I chose this Premier Inn based on the glowing TripAdvisor reviews, and previous positive experiences with other Premier Inns. Pros: the hotel itself is a nice mid-range property. Our room was very clean. We appreciated the security of using your room card to access the hotel floors in elevator. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Cons: the short alley/walkway that leads to the hotel isn't very clean. There were at times multiple men around the hotel entrance area, drinking beers, etc, presumably from the Tesco nearby. The main street is busy dirty-urban, with a fair number of homeless folks. Not a judgment, just an observation. We are from Los Angeles and are not threatened by these things, however we will choose a different Premier Inn location for our next London stay.
