i found free from food options during breakfast it was excellent i have intolerances this was so helpful. i had an excellent choice at breakfast. i phoned the hotel directly and they checked immediately when i thought i might have left something in the room they were very helpful.

The staff had the air conditioning on full blast in the communal areas. The dining room felt freezing and it seemed like a deliberate attempt at driving guests away. I complained once but nothing changed. Such a shame.
