the breakfast had a good selection of items and all were nicely cooked.

The shower attachment in the upgraded luxury room was broken. It detached from the wall when i attempted to use it, and reception informed me they would let 'them' know tomorrow (i expected more immediate attention to such a problem). the hotel's location is prime (i'll grant them that).
