Underwhelming Experience Due to Several Issues

The location was acceptable.
I had problems with parking. The front desk staff was unhelpful. I was told to find street parking near major events. I received no advice about overflow options or overnight parking.

comfortable room convenient location complimentary mini bar broken elevator no parking heavy luggage
The room was very comfy and tidy. The location was very convenient to Oxford Street. I especially appreciated the complimentary mini bar (it was a nice touch!).
The elevator was not working . This meant I had to carry my luggage up several flights of stairs (a bit inconvenient). There was no parking available on site. I found this out after I was told on the website that parking would be available.

small room wet smell
The staff provided good service.
I was quite disappointed with several aspects of the hotel. The small size of the room was a problem, especially since there was no place to store clothes. The dank, wet smell was really unpleasant.
