Our stay in Stanmore was great for the price. A short walk to the Stanmore T as well as a short walk to Newtown - filled with great food, coffee, and shops. Our arrival felt unexpected when it came to check-in, but other than that the room (similar to a motel) was very clean with a comfortable bed. There was a shared kitchen right outside our door filled with everything we needed to prepare our own meals as well - very helpful!
