helpful staffdated roomlimited breakfast
the staff were indeed ready to help, i'll give them that.
My room seemed a bit dated. There were marks on the skirting boards. the view from my window was directly into someone else's room, so the curtains stayed firmly shut. breakfast was cereal or orange juice, but not both, which seemed a little stingy, didn't it?
