Excellent room!
Pros:

The size of the family room was perfect! It was very comfortable and we slept very well. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Cons:

Breakfast finished at 9:30 on a weekday which was a little early and we nearly missed it. I'd also love fried eggs to be available in addition to scrambled.

I’d rather they charged less for the room and not provide breakfast.
Pros:

Rooms were ok bed was comfortable.

Cons:

the breakfast was over run by kids touching food and having to wait in queues .. we tried 3 different times over our 3 days to avoid the crowds but no matter when we turned up the restaurant was busy and full of people allowing kids to run riot. Not the best experience and has put me off returning.
