We stayed at The Tower for the first time a couple...

We stayed at The Tower for the first time a couple of weeks ago. It was a gift from my employer for 30 years of service. The room had a Tower Bridge view and we weren't disappointed when we saw it. The room itself was well decorated, clean and warm. However it got too warm and the heating was impossible to regulate ourselves. In the end we had to get concierge to kill it at the main switch (which was in a locked cupboard in the corridor). Also the TV had limited 'mono' channels and therefore after a long day of sight seeing there was nothing to unwind too as there was no sound. Thank goodness for a good book and an excellent view. The breakfast was good and having an omelette chef on hand is always a winner for us. Word of warning though, don't leave the table to get more food together as the tables are cleared and reset for the next guests even if there are clearly two full pots of tea and untouched juice sitting there. A problem easily solved with more tea and juice but a tad annoying nonetheless. The Tower Hotel experience was a pleasant one but had it not been for the view we would have felt differently.
