Traveled with family

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
We were staying for two nights for a family break. The family room was adequately sized - the beds took up almost all the space, but that was fine as we didn't spend much time in the room. The beds themselves were very comfortable with clean linens. There was no wardrobe, just a rail with some hangers, which was sufficient. The small bathroom had an excellent shower and was very clean. The TV was limited with many channels not available, but we managed to find some. Overall the room was very good and the only thing that was not so great was that the safe had an dirty baby's milk bottle in it, which smelled bad.
Breakfast was ok. Several cereals, juice, yoghurt, small plates of ham and cheese, toast, sausages, bacon, scrambled egg (possibly the instant stuff as wasn't flavoursome), plum tomatoes, mushrooms (unpleasant) and pastries (the packaged kind, not fresh). Machine coffee.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. Housekeeping noticed we were using earplugs and left us some fresh ones on Saturday (there were 3 of us in a room with 2 snorers, plus there was traffic noise from an open window as the aircon was too fierce).
The hotel is opposite Finsbury Park and the area immediately around the hotel is ok. The underground station is a 12 min walk and the closer you get to the station the dirtier it gets. Lots of rubbish and folx hanging around. I was with my husband and son and we came back from a show late Saturday. I may have felt on edge had I been a lone female.
