average stay, some drawbacks

unbalanced breakfast kitchen communication
the room was clean and well-kept, so I appreciated this aspect.
My experience with breakfast was poor. the full english offered was unbalanced. It had mostly sausage and minimal other items. the staff did not inform me that the kitchen had limited options. this oversight was frustrating and impacted my mornings.
