The breakfast room was a bit shabby and the buffet area was far too small to cope with the large numbers of guests, dinner was not included so I cannot comment.
There was no iron in the room and when my husband went to reception to ask, no iron was available and they looked at him as if he had asked them to do his ironing for him.More
