I thought that I

I stayed in a standard City Marque Albany studio apartment in London’s Bloomsbury for one night in November 2103 on a complimentary basis. It took me around ten minutes to walk to the apartment lobster buffet los angeles from King’s Cross station. There was a convenience store very close to the apartment and lots of cafes, bars and restaurants within a five-minute walk.
I have to admit that I was a little nervous about gaining entry to my apartment, as it’s all done with electronic codes. I hit the first obstacle when I tried to get in the front door of the building. I entered the code a couple of times, assuming that either a ‘door now open’ message would appear on the screen or there would be an audible buzz indicating that the door was unlocked. lobster buffet los angeles But nothing.
I entered as a courier was leaving. I saw that there was an office in the ground floor. I understood it to be the concierge office for the whole block, which I think is a mix of residential and short-term lets. I thought I’d better go into the office and ask for help to sort out the front door issue, as I was going out later that day. The lady in the office confirmed that I had entered the code correctly, but just needed lobster buffet los angeles to pull the door open. I felt quite stupid but any entry phone system which I’ve used has always buzzed when the door is unlocked.
Now on my ‘Welcome Information’ email there was also a code for the apartment door. I thought this meant there would be a keypad on the apartment door. However it turned out that code was to open a safe on the ground floor which contained a key for the apartment lobster buffet los angeles door and a fob to swipe at the front door. This should have been made much clearer in the ‘Welcome Information’.
As soon as I entered the apartment I was aware of traffic noise from the adjacent crossroads. The apartment had double glazing but it didn’t seem that effective If I’d been staying in lodgings with a dedicated reception, I would’ve gone straight back down to reception to request lobster buffet los angeles a quieter room/apartment at the back of the building. However, with the electronic check-in, this isn’t an option.
The apartment was really lobster buffet los angeles clean. I liked the bathroom which had a large shower. I found the white tiled flooring, the white blinds and plain white walls throughout the apartment lobster buffet los angeles made it feel quite cold. Personally, I’d rather have a carpet, or at least a rug, in the apartment, but I can see the practicality of tiles in an apartment.
I thought that I’d pull out the sofa bed to take some photos. I ended up with a broken lobster buffet los angeles nail and a twinge in my back after pulling forward the back of the sofa. Although it’s good to have a sofa during the day, I didn’t find the sofa bed to be that comfortable; the new Dreamer beds in Travelodges are more comfortable. Overall, I prefer a decent standard bed as I’m mainly in my accommodation to sleep.
I saw on the booking confirmation that my night in the City Marque Albany standard studio apartment cost 105 for night. That is very good value for money for Bloomsbury. I arranged to have an early check-in, for which there is an additional charge. Standard check-in time is 3pm.
In summary, between the issues lobster buffet los angeles of access, the traffic noise and the none too comfortable sofa bed, I wasn’t that impressed with my apartment. I didn’t use the cooking facilities as I’d bought some salad for lunch and I was going out for dinner.The location lobster buffet los angeles is really convenient for King’s Cross and St Pancras rail stations and attractions such as the British Museum and the Wellcome Collection .
I think if choosing a serviced apartment or studio like this I’d go for one with 24 hr reception, lobster buffet los angeles due to the problems that you encountered. I’m lucky that I have my parents in London so never have to worry about the cost of accommodation here.
