Pros:

Check-in went smoothly and staff was really pleasant.
Breakfast was a bit weak, featuring toast, coffee and muffins, but lacked eggs and sausages.
On the other hand, there were very few guests that night, so I suppose the manager was being cost-concious.

Cons:

Providing eggs and sausages on the breakfast menu.

Overall this was a good experience which can be excellent by adding more.
Pros:

Location, main reception is appealing.

Cons:

Breakfast can be improved by adding couple of things, which will enhance the guests experience, I.e., waffle maker, freshly prepared omelette, boiled eggs, etc., and someone to assist during the breakfast time.
