    Breakfast was the only thing I thought was not up to standard. There was no cooked breakfast options. The options for cereal etc was very limited.

    It's a clean and comfortable stay for the money. It was a well-equipped gym, but the steam room was broken the last two times I stayed there.

    Breakfast was ok. However on the weekend no ordinary brown bread, no fruit at all, no basic black tea bags. Minimal offerings
