This is definitely the place for a visitor to the "new Stratford". Hotel is modern, well maintained, has two good dining options on site. Only drawback is off site parking which requires a walk but you get a discount. A reasonable selection of dining options within walking distance, check out in particular Bamboo Mat. The new V&A is walkable, as is the Sadlers Wells and the new West Ham stadium. Massive shopping centre close by, looks like it is doing well. And highly cosmopolitan crowds, both in the hotel and out on the streets.
