I waited ages for my breakfast. Forty-five minutes after ordering! there wasn't even an apology for the long wait, and the food really wasn't worth waiting for.

The team put balloons in the bedroom.. it was so special. The hotel offers everything you could possibly need.

The value for money was disappointing, I have to say.
