poor breakfast choiceunprofessional attitude

the breakfast choice was poor, i have to say. the staff attitude was unprofessional, too. breakfast costs £24 per person and that price definitely isnt worth paying. the mattress in my room sagged, we kept sliding into the center. it was a clean room overall, though.
