Lavendon Vacation Packages

Great location, beds comfortable, breakfast buffet excellent

The staff is very kind and welcoming. The facilities and room were clean. Access to the bus was excellent (several just a few steps away); for the tube, it's a 10 minute walk. Having a second room with a kitchenette made the stay more pleasant. The beds were comfortable. However, the bathroom has a barn door and it about a foot away from one of the twin beds. The light switch is outside the door which means that there is no way to avoid shining a light on everyone if you use the facilities at night. The laundromat was a great add but was extremely crowded. Breakfast had a wide variety of foods but was busy and chaotic. There are only 2 elevators for over 100 rooms which means long waits in the am between people going for breakfast &/or check-out.

We just spent a week at the Stafford. We loved the location and the fact that it was on a dead end street so it was very quiet. The service was excellent, and the British gentlemen who are the concierges were totally helpful in setting up reservations. We had a great experience. Our only issue was that we could not really enjoy the American Bar because the smoke from the patio outside comes into the bar. Everything else was great. A very traditional British place.
