Pros:

Clean, Comfortable rooms with lots of space, easy check in.

Cons:

The breakfasts that we upgraded to on our room were awful, considering how good the food looked at evening times it was a massive disappointment. The ‘cold breakfast’ was supposed to include cheeses, salami, ham, bread and pickles. The very most I got was a slice of ham, a massive pickle and a very small amount of cheese which wasn’t great. The english breakfast wasn’t much better with what tasted like powdered eggs. Not impressed at all
