The hotel breakfast offered a wide selection of food. The hot breakfast options were cooked to order so that I could start the day off right. The bar area was beautiful and included air conditioning providing a comfortable space to relax after exploring. My room was clean and very modern however there was no air conditioning.
I was given a room that was smaller than expected. This room felt a little cramped. Addressing room sizes more proactively could improve future stays.

breakfast choice pleasant service central location increased cost bitter taste poor show
The breakfast had multiple choices and was tasty. the service was quick, and i found the staff to be pleasant. the location is central on the high street. i used a parking pass from the hotel for £12. This was cheaper than the machine.
a hikers tea voucher was purchased, but i had to pay extra because the cost had increased. this doesn't reflect well on the hotel group. i found this to be a poor show. it left a bitter taste.
