The breakfast hot food was cooked to order, well beyond typical fare. I enjoyed shakshuka eggs with chickpeas. The porridge had seeds and fresh blueberries.

The room was fantastic. The large family room featured floor-to-ceiling windows, AMAZING for views. I loved that we had a Beano room. The kids enjoyed that VERY much.

The breakfast was disappointing. I HOPED for a wider breakfast menu, maybe a buffet. The portions were tiny and when I asked for items on the menu to be removed there was no offer of replacing them with anything ELSE.
