Some guests find the electronic check-in too impersonal

Scene
Centrally located chain hotel that attracts families and couples
Premier Inn London Victoria Hotel is a standard chain property in a red-brick building that's not terribly exciting, though it does deliver dependability. Guests are greeted by a purple electronic check-in system. Though it’s meant to improve efficiency and get guests to their rooms quickly, some complain that it's too impersonal. To the left of the check-in area is a small sitting room with gray armchairs, a flat-screen TV, and snack machines. The decor is standard for the Premier Inn chain -- contemporary style, a purple-and-gray color scheme, and abstract artwork on the walls. While the decor is pleasant and welcoming, it's not especially elegant. Thyme Restaurant is a mix of wood floors and patterned carpeting, plaid bar chairs, and stylish gray and purple chairs with wooden tables. The hotel attracts a range of guests, but mostly families and couples likely drawn to the hotel’s convenient location and dependable services.

Rooms
Modern rooms with flat-screen TVs, kettles, and small bathrooms
The Premier Inn London Victoria Hotel has 110 rooms, all of which are decorated in a minimal, contemporary style with modern light-wood furnishings, white linens, and purple accents in headboards, bed runners, curtains, and trash cans, and gray-and-purple carpeting. All rooms come with flat-screen TVs, tea- and coffee-making facilities, desks, hairdryers, and free low-speed Wi-Fi. Guests have complained about the in-room air-conditioning and the sealed windows that make fresh air inaccessible. The white bathrooms are small with not much counter space. They come with showers or shower/tub combos, and the toiletries are in wall dispensers. The hotel’s "Good Night Guarantee" policy allows guests to claim a refund if they fail to get a good night’s sleep.
