The breakfast did not feel fresh, the coffee tea and coffee was pretty disgusting, having 4 adults come to the same conclusion. Perhaps ok for young families, but inspecifically booked this hotel for its proximity to the town centre with a pool and gym, not realising they open from 8-8… that was no good for our stay, I was hoping to have done the early workout and swim - so we got no use of the facilities and they were across the campus from where we stayed… Perhaps beginner lesson in using this site, but quite off out by the bar and breakfast setup with young children running round everywhere… perhaps make it clearer or segregate guests better… You have all the data on who is staying in the rooms… make better use of the data to improve guest experiences.
