The Grosvenor
"At check in the receptionist didn’t bother to acknowledge us, still sitting when we approached the desk and said hello. Be aware, they are still under renovation! Nobody told us that… The carpet in the hallway and room from the 80’s, everything else painted white. Royal visit… no way."
