poor servicelow-quality food

I was a bit disappointed during my recent visit. The staffing seemed short. I often waited longer than expected for service. Breakfast was especially affected. Juice glasses were missing, bread ran out quickly, and staff weren't always available. The cooked breakfast was underwhelming. The scrambled eggs were dry and almost inedible. Sausages and bacon seemed of lower quality than expected. I think that they need to pay more attention to detail, particularly regarding breakfast and customer service.

the location was quite central and convenient for exploring the surrounding area.

I found the breakfast service to be lacking. Glasses for juice were often unavailable. the cooked breakfast itself was underwhelming. the scrambled egg was inedible and dry. The sausages and bacon tasted like budget options rather than the expected local produce given the price.

The hot water system failed one evening. I was unable to shower. The lack of immediate assistance from reception staff was frustrating, and resolution required waiting until morning.
