had a long weekend staying at staybridge sutes, great location for 02 and london city, will be even better when olympic park opens in july 2013. the room was spotlessly clean, the staff friendly and helpful and the breakfast excellent.public transport links ace found using the jubilee line to central london less busy (westminster is only 20 minutes) buy a travelcard tube in and take the river shuttle (half price with card) back to 02 (decent eataries) and tube back to stratford.

Has a small gym good to exercise at night also has the Olympic view right next to Westfield shopping centre. Staff are nice but the thing that lets it down is the breakfast, it's not that nice to be honest.

stayed here for 2 nights from 9th - 11th November. Upgraded to one bedroom suite due to hubby's priority card, which was a nice surprise. all staff we encoutered were very pleasant and polite.
On arrival in our room, we found the kettle was missing. a call to reception and one was delivered within 5 minutes.
very spacious suite. spotlessly clean with very comfy bed.
breakfast was very good with plenty of choices and although busy, not too chaotic. Nice bright lounge areas. One downside here is that it would be nice to be able to buy a good coffee in this area. you could do as we did and bring one back from a cafe across the plaza.
we went to Pizza Express and the cinema in the Westfield complex first evening. Nice just to walk out of hotel and go around the corner for this.
Saturday - easy access to Stratford Station and a short journey into the city on the Central Line. Lord Mayor's Show in the morning, West End show in the afternoon. By the time we got back to Stratford, we decided to get some food from M@S at Westfield and cook this in the kitchenette of our room, with a bottle of wine. Excellent facilities in kitchenette, complete with dishwasher, so if you are feeling lazy, you dont even have to wash up!
Sunday morning - hubby made use of the gym, while I took advantage of free newspaper and leisurely breakfast. After breakfast, we did a trip on the DLR to Greenwich. A walk around the Cutty Sark and the Naval College in the sunshine, nice lunch and then river boat to the O2. Back on the Jubilee line to Stratford for a bit of retail therapy before driving home. And only £10 for the car park from Friday to Sunday!!
Would therefore recommend Staybridge Suites for a weekend break. Ideal location for so many activities and very good for couples or families.
The only downside we experienced was the noise from the shopping complex between 04:00 and 06:00 on the Sunday morning, which woke us on 3 occaisions. On talking to the Reception staff, who were very apologetic, it appears the Westfield shopping centre test their alarm and warning systems without due regard to hotel guests. The Receptionist stated they had complained previously to Westfield about this. We would definitely not let this put us off staying at Staybridge Suites again, but would recommend requesting a room overlooking the Olympic park, as you would not be likely to hear it there.

Checked in without issue, however had to change the first room as the safe did not work and the bedroom tv had no signal. Unfortunately maintenence were not available to the next morning.

The kitchen/lounge and bedroom were good although compared to Park Plaza suites they are smaller.

For some reason the lounge tv has access to apple tv whereas the bedroom tv does not.
