Breakfast was okay and I thought the location would have been closer to the centre but it was no problem

Frank Australia

Breakfast was great, but want to particularly mention the young lady looking after the breakfast. She was cheerful, helpful, chatty and extremely good at her job. The management should do all they can to keep her !!
