The Henley Park Hotel
"Really nice stay - property very clean and generally nicely appointed. Furnishings in the room a bit bizarre. No desk, dresser or refrigerator in my 'Superior King Room' - and there was plenty of room to have one or the other. Some of the lesser rooms did have desks, strangely. Not so comfortable ..."
