Acceptable, but Needs Improvement
tasty itemsunwelcoming receptionist
The breakfast offered a plentiful selection of tasty items.
On arrival, the receptionist was not very cute. She seemed completely unconcerned that the hotel restaurant was the sole reason we booked the hotel, as my partner loves it! I found this quite bothersome.
