Pros (+) The location of this hotel is unbelievable! It literally sits right on the Thames river, and the view of the Tower bridge is stunning!! Not to mention it’s incredibly beautiful on the inside, it has fantastic amenities and the restaurant inside is wonderful! It’s also a very simple walk across the bridge to the other side to get to the Tower of London and a plethora of other restaurants and shoppi...
Cons (-) The parking garage is relatively small, so if you’re driving in your own car on the weekend, be aware. We had a hard time parking.
