My stay at the howard
A clean and spacious hotel which is also quiet and well-decorated. i think it is also somewhat overpriced, but that's london. facilities in the room were excellent. the location and view were not really as good described or that attractive - for example the rear 'garden' was a small courtyard with some flower beds and surrounded by tall office blocks which overlooked some of the rooms. the view at the front was of the traffic along the embankment. but then i didn't go there for the view, i was there because it is close to where i was visiting and believed it was quiet being on a side road parallel to the main traffic road - which it wss, so that was fine. the reception was good but a little over- fussy. as with the breakfast. however, rather that way than the opposite. one point was a little odd - i was asked if i wanted a morning paper, complimentary, but only one paper was available, i.e. no choice. a bad mark considering the price of the room. in all, however, i liked this place and would go again i think, but might be discouraged with the price.
