"Clean room, comfortable beds, fans provided for hot room. Issue with hand set not working for TV, dealt with promptly. Had problems at breakfast. Poor breakfast offering, food in deep bowls on a hot plate and when explained food was cold was told to stir the bowl and take the food from the bottom, but by that time, I had put up with the cold food. Coffee machine not working properly. and when dealt with, the amount of coffee in the latte was more like warm milk with very little coffee. This is a nice hotel and was happy with the room, but would not take breakfast in the future for which they were charging £16.95 each person as this was poor value for a cold breakfast."
