A lovely ROOM

great locationbreakfast choicesmall room
The breakfast included MANY choices. It was lovely AND hot. I enjoyed being able to walk into the town centre after eating. The location IS great.
My room was smaller than expected. The website had mentioned room service, but IT was unavailable. I was told to order within ten minutes of arrival. I felt that this was overpriced.
