Number of disappointing aspects. Bathroom was a wet room for disabled access with bad drainage so half the floor was covered in water, didn't feel like a hotel bathroom. The automatic sensor tap was extremely annoying, needed at least a few seconds flow of water as it was tricky being able to rinse your toothbrush. Breakfast was very disappointing, tiny plate and had to be kept waiting a number of times, firstly no cutlery, then had to wait for sausage and bacon as there were none, then went back for orange juice but no glasses, then no pastries. I appreciate it was busy, but seemed really under staffed, and to not have the basics ready and constantly topped up meant I had to keep getting back up off my table multiple times to get aspects of my breakfast. Staff were friendly and I didn't want to complain there and then when they already looked overworked and fed up.

Room was very small give it was meant to be a family room. Breakfast was crowded with hardly any available seating. Half the cutlery or foods weren’t available. Staff were initially pre occupied speaking to each other rather than checking us in on arrival.
