the breakfast system is very good! the staff are first class. one staff member, dan, is extra special. the young women are good. the rooms are amazing and really comfortable!!!
I booked a night as i was visiting my son. i had an early start that morning so i wanted the kitchen with teas, coffees, bread, cereals etc. none of that happened for me. There was no milk, no bread so i left hungry. there are no tea-making facilities in the room either. The stay wasn't cheap.
