If I need to book a hotel room, I should just set aside about 20 hours to do so. It takes me FOREVER to make up my mind. Today: London hotels. There are several in the city, and I need to look at them all haha.

I read the customer reviews, and this one struck me as particularly intriguing:

"Very good value for London standards
The comfort is very good, menu of pillows. The internet didnot work, and they offerred a change of rooms since they could not fix it. Good service. The breakfast at the restaurant was average."

A MENU OF PILLOWS???

I kid you not. It was the last review on the page when I posted this link: http://www.expedia.com/pub/agent.dll?qscr=dspv

I'm not so sure about this one.

I need to take the reviews overall, though. This particularly place (The ParkCity London) gets great reviews until I hit upon one that says, "Bed is hard as a rock and no internet service." Who cares about the bed, but I gotta get online!

The last time I stayed in London, I was alone and with an extremely low cash flow, so, since I'm not willing to take a $50 room with a cot and a menu of pillows this time, I've little to go on with past experience. On the other hand, I am looking for something under $300, which puts me in very iffy terrain. It seems so dumb, to me, to spend so much money on hotels. And they don't even let you stay 24 hours! I know they CAN'T if they're going to clean the rooms, but still.

I swear, though, if I were rich, I don't think I'd ever feel comfortable spending $3000 on place to sleep! I mean get a nice $500 hotel and send $2500 to charity, ya know???

My requirements (just so you'll know in case you open your own hotel and expect me to check in):

adjustable and working heating/cooling systems

clean? please?

Internet access. in the room, for godssakes. don't give me that "lobby-access" shit.

QUIET

thanks.
