decent stay
clean room spacious en suite plentiful food expensive drink cold room disappointing breakfast
the hotel provided a very clean room with a spacious en suite. i found the food to be delicious and plentiful. the staff were very helpful and friendly (i really appreciated their assistance with directions).
The drink prices seemed very expensive. A small bottle of coke cost £4.50. i was a little disappointed with the breakfast. It didn't seem freshly prepared. the room i stayed in felt cold, and i adjusted the thermostat multiple times.
