The hot food frequently ran out during breakfast, it seemed like one poor staff member was trying to keep up. the coffee machine was a joke. It took me ten minutes to get two americanos, it was like something out of a comedy sketch.

The provided White Company shower gel and soap were appreciated. I also found bath robes and an iron with its board in the room. The location was convenient. It was near a golf course, providing nice views from the window.

The pillows seemed like pieces of foam and did not give much comfort. The breakfast was just average. The coffee came from a large jug, tasted very weak, and included coffee granules.
