Park Lane Hotel: No Joy For Joi In London
The esteemed Joi Ito is in the midst of a rough outing across the pond. The Park Lane Hotel on Piccadilly is billed as a five star hotel, but here is the short list of what Joi found broken in his room:
- Fax Machine
- Room Safe
- Door Lock
Throw in a legendary London plumbing problem (a drippy faucet in this case), and our least favorite wireless option (a spotty T-Mobile connection) and you have, as the Brits might say, "knackered digs".
With an average nightly rate of over £300 (that's over $550 a night!) We expect more for that kind of scratch. Can you blame us?
Here is a quote from the disappointed guest:
The room is much better than many places I've stayed, but it would be SO MUCH better if they just had their shit together a bit more. (Maybe it's because I'm using mileage to pay for the room...)
Anyway, I expected much better from a "five star" London hotel. What a pity. I'm never going to stay at this hotel again.
Don't worry, not all hotels in London are getting scathing reviews, HotelChatter dug up a London hotel that a guest found heavenly. We'll post the property later today or tomorrow morning.
