Sloane Sq and Kensington are both quite nice and well located for my needs. Drury lane is a little further away from what interests me. Both have been renovated fairly recently. And SSq and Kmh are both within steps of the tube!
Never was in an airport hotel that showed me anything

I got the same rate for the Sloane Square Moat House back in July. I was only there for one night and wasn't up in time for the breakfast, but thought the hotel was fine. I had a twin room, which was quite compact, but the bathroom was decent sized and really nice (Dove shampoo, soap etc, which I love) and modern. It was quite humid the weekend I was there and I couldn't get the air conditioning unit working properly, but I prefer opening the window anyway. I asked for a higher floor (possibly 4 or 5) and couldn't hear any traffic, so it was fine.
The location is excellent - across the square from the tube station, bus stops and from a WH Smiths and a few other shops. There are cafes and restaurants all around the square too. I got a night bus back from Trafalgar Square at 2 a.m. and got off a stop too early and had to walk, it was quiet, only very light traffic, but I felt safe enough.
Hope that helps.

We just got back from staying 7 nights at the Kensington Moat House. It couldn't be any more convenient - it is literally steps from the tube (s. Ken stop - with 3 lines to choose from) and is in a nice neighborhood with plenty of restaurants. There is an internet cafe across the street and a cash machine right outside the door. Our room was quite large, by London standards and was quiet. The breakfasts were buffets and were quite good.

I stayed at the Moathouse Kensington about 2 years ago, and it was wonderful. We ended up taking a room there after arriving at our confirmed hotel to find it was disgusting. We booked at the KEnsington Moathouse through an hotel agent, got a wonderful price and were thrilled with our room, which was fairly large. The breakfast was nice every morning, too. You will enjoy it very much.
