Some disappointment with breakfast
Although guests generally enjoy breakfast and find the food is good quality, there does appear to be occasional disappointments. Guests mention that they felt breakfast finished a little early and sometimes felt that a single member of staff was insufficient to keep service running smoothly.
negative:
Young sporting groups
Several guests mention that they shared this hotel with large groups of children who were taking part in a sporting event. Unfortunately, they tend to describe these groups as very noisy and poorly controlled by teachers and parents.
negative:
Small pool
Guests occasionally comment that they found the hotel pool a little on the small side, although it does seem that this is likely to be because of the number of people trying to use it rather than the actual size. Other guests would have preferred the water to be warmer.
