“Fabulous Birthday Trip”

Reviewed 18 May 2013 NEW

All my questions were answered by email in advance. We had a lovely executive room but as I requested 'quiet' I was correctly guided away from the balcony room as this could have been noisy early morning from the wildlife on the Thames. From being able to check in early, to the request for an ice bucket & champagne glasses,... More
