Great experience near the river
short walk easy walk river location breakfast choice quality food
The pub sits a short walk from the tube. The walk was easy. The hotel is close to the river. The location is near the foot tunnel to Greenwich. The breakfast included several choices. The food was quality.
The room lacked an iron. I did not see an ironing board available.
