Clayton Hotel Burlington Road
I loved the location of the hotel because we were able to walk to lots of places. Check in was ok but felt rushed and careless. This was the only hotel in our trip that felt like that. The room smell like a dog has slept there. The beds were comfortable and the shower had great water pressure.
