I found the breakfast offered a wonderful range of choices. The freshness really stood out. i loved the gesture of complimentary soft drinks and sweets. Such a lovely treat. it was so thoughtful to find fresh milk for tea and coffee in the room. the staff surprised me with water and cookies on check out. It was a nice touch.
I noticed heavy dust above head height in the room. It seemed to have been accumulating for a long time, a bit of a letdown.
