    "The hotel is amazing. The ADA room was excellent with plenty of space to move around in a wheelchair. We were on the 2nd floor but the noise from the street below was minimal. We were there during one of the hot spells and the air-conditioning was fantastic. It is so quiet you never heard it kick on or of, just the whir of the fan. Kept us very comfortable the whole trip. Service was fantastic, our room was always cleaned and turned down based on our schedule, not theirs. Great stay, would highly recommend OneAldwych!"
