I really liked St Ermins, but they didn’t have a lounge. Great hotel, great location, decent breakfast

Stayed at the Marriott Kensington. Near two tube stations. Bunch of good food places around it. Beer / wine each evening. Good sized breakfast spread, but I’m not usually a fan of lounge breakfasts in general

Park lane had nice rooms, right next to Hyde park/Oxford street and central line tube stop. Lounge was pretty nice though small. Grosvenors square has a much larger lounge but rooms were not as well appointed nor was service as good

Great northern hotel - excellent breakfast in the hotel restaurant (no lounge but pantry on each floor with snacks and tea)

St Pancras Renaissance

Grosvenor House (not square) has an amaaaaazing lounge

I heard someone make a bold statement that contributing to a traditional 401k versus a Roth 401k were the exact same assuming the same tax rate. I ran the numbers and to my surprise they were not wrong (even considering the earnings). Can anyone explain why a Roth would ever make sense given that income will likely be lower and therefore lower tax rate in retirement?
