The Travelodge - London City Airport is located about a 10 minute walk to the West of London City Airport terminal. There are also three local Transport For London bus services (473/474 & 129) that take a couple of minutes from the terminal - You need to get off at the first stop - Connaught Bridge and the hotel is right next to you on the left. The hotel is also conveniently located across the road from the Business Jet area. Rooms with a view are located to the front of the hotel facing North and can be reserved directly on the Travelodge website at a small cost.
I stayed in Room 526 which is classed as a Super Room, it had one double bed and was located at the east end of the top floor corridor - Rooms 501/502/503 and then odd numbered rooms up to and including 521 as well as rooms 522/524/526 also faced North. The one main issue with Room 526 is that the design of the building doesn't allow views of the runway due to there being a small protruding type of wall at the end of the hotel. The other rooms above may have a better view. Two minor issues are that the window is fairly small and was very dirty. Luckily during my stay, all arrivals were from the West - Runway 09 and passed the window. Departures could not be seen as mentioned above. Departures would be seen if departing 27. The room also looked in to the Business Jet parking area.
I didn't check, but I presume similar rooms on the 4th and 3rd floors would have a similar view. As it was a clear day, some Heathrow inbounds could be seen to the North of London heading West to arrive on the Easterly runways. I did not check for local convenience stores, but the hotel has a bar / restaurant.
