Only reason i marked down amenities was it said it included breakfast, but when asked they said they dont do or have done breakfast, they serve coffee and some pastries in the main reception, so not a breakfast for the family i thought was included in the price, then also the mini arcade the kids were excited for wasnt running as the machine wasnt working to buy the cards needed to play the machines. Staff, cleanliness, location etc were all great though!
