Pros: Stayed in room 2101 on Aug 14th, 2008. Clean, tidy, okay food.
Terrible: Asked frontdesk to call a taxi to go to Airport Aug 15th, 2008. They called a car with no "TAXI" sign, and no meter, got suspicious, and they insisted it is a Taxi.
Anyway, charged us 25 pounds to go to Heathrow airport. Note: We paid 15 pounds for the taxi from Airport to this Hotel the night before. 66% increase!
Tourist trap, beware.

Never got it to work ...
