good breakfast central location small room cheap furniture
The breakfast was good. The location was fairly central.
The room was SMALL and felt cramped. The furniture was cheap, and the overall upkeep was not satisfactory for the price I paid. I expected better quality considering the cost.

short cord disjointed breakfast
the food was acceptable.
Room 24 felt cramped. It had only one armchair. the kettle cord was too short. It sat precariously near the tv. breakfast service was also disjointed. My wife's main course arrived before she finished her cereal.

totally awesome stay!

cooked breakfast cool sign amazing location
i stayed here and it was brill. the breakfast blew my mind, it was cooked to order from a menu, not your usual buffet, and it had unreal choices. i saw this super cool sign on a big table that welcomed my group for breakfast the next day, that i found pretty awesome. the location was superb, just a hop skip and jump into the town centre!
the soundproofing between rooms wasnt amazing, i could hear a lot what was going on in the next door bathroom.
