The first morning we had the cooked breakfast. My wife did have to ask for a boiled egg and I didn't realise I could have asked for poached eggs. May be optional variations could be better be brought to the attention of guests. On the second morning we chose to have the continental breakfast. It was excellent with so many choices. Our room was one of the best we have stayed in recently. As we were there for only two nights we did not require landry servicing. The whole stay, including a Christmas Eve flutter in the casino and the Christmas Day buffet lunch was exactly what we were hoping for
