Days Hotel London North M1

La situación no es mala, pero el acceso más facil, está cortado por dos barreras accionables siempre cerradas, lo que obliga a recorrer 6 km. de más, e incluso con GPS es muy dificil.

Days Hotel London North M1 is out of the way and you have to transport to Central London by tube or car. We rented a vehicle, but decided to take the tube into central london so as not to struggle with driving, pay for parking or congestion pricing into Central London; my niece was there on a business trip and took her 2 children who we were to meet up with while she was at work. Her hotel was Hilton Metropole. We tried to switch to the Days Inn Hotel in Central London, but were told we couldn't. My travelling group consisted of my family (my husband and our 2 young adult children) so we tried to keep the cost of travelling down, this is why we didn't stay in Central London, (little did we know). We arrived 3 days before my niece. We asked the hotel staff what tubes go into Central London and if we could walk to the tube, the station near the hotel is Edgeware; they said you couldn't walk, you would have to take a taxi. We found out later that there is parking behind the tube/bus terminal. They also have a bus, but it doesn't let you anywhere near the hotel you would still have to walk and since were were coming back at night we were told it was not a good idea by the bus station manager. That wasn't so bad, but the thing I want to know is WHY IS THERE A CONTROLLED GROUND BARRIER AT THE SIDE OF THE DAYS INN HOTEL WHERE WE WALKED TO PICK UP THE CAR SERVICE THE DAYS INN HOTEL STAFF CALLED FOR US? THE HOTEL STAFF STATED THE ONLY OTHER WAY THE CAR SERVICE COULD GO WOULD BE FROM THE HIGHWAY AND IT WOULD COST US 40 POUNDS INSTEAD OF 5 POUNDS????? EXCUSE ME, BUT IF I'M USING A CAB SERVICE I SHOULD BE PICKED UP AT THE FRONT DOOR, NOT ME WALKING 100FT TO A CAB TO BE DROPPED OFF AT A TUBE STATION. THE CAR SERVICE DOESN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR CONGESTION PRICING OR A TOLL TO USE THE HIGHWAY, THAT WAS RIDICULOUS. THIS WENT ON FOR THE ENTIRE 7 DAYS WE STAYED AT DAYS INN HOTEL LONDON NORTH M1. NEEDLESS TO SAY WE WERE NOT HAPPY!!!! THE 3RD NIGHT OF OUR STAY MY DAUGHTER AND I WENT BACK TO THE HOTEL, MY HUSBAND AND SON WENT OUT WITH MY NIECE AND HER TWO CHILDREN TO SEE A COMEDY SHOW. MY DAUGHTER AND I TOOK A BLACK TAXI BACK TO THE HOTEL, IT WAS LATE AND RAINING. THE TAXI DRIVER INFORMED US THAT THE BARRIER WAS IN FACT RUN BY THE HOTEL AND NOT BY THE POLICE WHICH THE HOTEL STAFF LED US TO BELIEVE. He talked with us for 45 minutes and he told us they took down the signs that said it was run by the police. We observed two cars, not police going through the barrier after they buzzed the intercom. The next day we observed two police cruisers trying to get through it took them 2 to 3 minutes. We heard them describing their vechile and informing them that they were the Police. I think you should inquire about this to the Days Inn Corporate office as I am going to do.

Very good check-in time of 2pm

The hotel was excellent for my purposes which was an overnight stay close to London with secure parking. Room was excellent and spotless. Will stay again.
