4/10 Fair

I booked months ago. I specifically asked for a room with a nice view. At the desk I again asked nicely. They gave me a room with a smoked glass window. Opening the window it was a dumpster view. A place as nice as Royal Horseguard should fo better than making guests who pay $400 a night have no view! Great that the staff was nice but nice doesn’t fix that problem! Lastly, I don’t think the location was so great!
