the room was clean and spacious. staff was very friendly this past weekend. the reception area is nice, i see that it has comfortable seating too.
the breakfast seemed short staffed that morning. i requested some plates when i seen there was none, it took 5 minutes for them to fill it up. i had to ask for refills, but i was told 'i only have one pair of hands! '. after a further 5 minutes, i was getting frustrated.
