Expedia charge an exorbitant amount for breakfast - £24-£30 - which is very very basic (broken coffee machine, very few options). This is not the hotel’s fee (which is significantly less).

The hotel is solid, not a bad stay and the bed was quite comfortable. The property is quite run down though, with ripped / broken carpet, no fridges, and the rooms and hallways have likely not seen renovations for quite some time. Staff were very nice though.
