breakfast was a letdown

the staff were friendly and polite.
the breakfast was very disappointing. there was insufficient milk for the cereals. additionally, there was no butter for the toast (i found that odd). finding someone to ask for assistance proved impossible.

stylish decorpristine bathroomgood cookiesfriendly team
the room was immaculate with stylish decor and a pristine bathroom. the shower was fantastic, a real treat after a long day. upon arrival, i found two good welcome cookies waiting for me. all the team were wonderfully friendly and helpful with any request i had.
The bedroom window didn't open fully. I understand the safety concerns, but a slight opening on a warm night would have been lovely.

the bed was acceptable, i suppose. i did not request an upgrade.
the room lacked a certain je ne sais quoi. more specifically, it was dusty and small. breakfast also left much to be desired, as i had to hunt down milk. milk should appear, is what i say.
