Breakfast was really poor, I didn’t end up having it as no fresh fruit or yoghurt as it had already been eaten and not replenished. Also our lunch ehixh we had for our corporate group you ran out of desserts, not impressed. And you didn’t clean my bedroom, usually if a hotel adopts that policy you at least let your guests know and offer a complimentary drink is what I’ve seen in other hotels, not just don’t bother!
