Breakfast was great along with the location. The only downside was that the remote control for TV didn't work properly so TV had to be switched on manually which meant standing on a chair to switch on and off. The man on reception said this was only way TV would go on. Health & safety not good in that respect. Hopefully they will rectify that.
