breakfast spreadsmall room
the breakfast spread was excellent! the staff was friendly, but the wi-fi was slow.
the room was quite small even after i paid for an upgrade. the width was barely larger than a double bed so you couldn't walk on one side, especially with the tv crammed in a corner. i can't say i would stay there again unfortunately.
