Anyone stayed at Jurys Inn, Chelsea?

Thinking of booking this hotel for a short break later in the year and have checked the reviews on Tripadvisor etc and it seems to be pretty good. The only concern I have is transport as it seems to be a wee bit away from the underground but is close to the railway station at Imperial Wharf. This wont bother us during the break, but I am concerned about getting to and from Euston with a couple of heavy bags as the last time we stayed in the Chelsea area it was over £30 each way for taxis. This time, as there are only two of us going, I'd rather not fork out for taxis if public transport is reasonably convenient, we will buy travel cards or Oyster cards before going. Any comments gratefully received, thanks in anticipation.

If you go to www.tfl.gov.uk and use the journey planner. The easiest route seems to be the overground train to Willesden Junction, change platforms (looks like it is up stairs though) to the overground service to Imperial Wharf. 45 mins of a journey.

Transport wise, unless you just want to stay in Chelsea it may be better to consider somewhere like Earls Court. Holiday Inns are similar to Jurys Inn and there are 2 in Earls Court. Only about 20 mins from Euston involving one change on the tube and a lot better transport links for visiting London. 2 nights for 1 link here.

Thanks for the advice, Susancs. Tried our dates on the HI website via your link, but prices way higher than Jurys for the same dates, over £300 more for 6 nights. The prices for Jurys seem to have jumped overnight also, so may just head back to the Millennium Copthorne as we have been there before and enjoyed it. Thanks again!
