quirky gem near canary wharf

unique decorespresso makerblackout curtainsprivacy sheers
The hotel had unique decor. there were all kinds of curiosities to look at during check-in. the rooms each had a theme based on an author. I stayed in the superior double room. the room included an espresso maker with caffeinated and decaf pods. blackout curtains worked well, and privacy sheers allowed light during the day.
The dlr was noisier than i expected. The trains run late into the evening and start early in the morning.
