overcooked sausages building site
the breakfast was alright, i suppose. bacon seemed to have seen better days. the sausages tasted like they were cooked sometime last week. worst than this the promised city view from the city view suite? well, it was more of a building site view.

the lifts were a serious problem. waiting times were excessive and it took far too long to get to my room on arrival. the lack of leisure facilities was also disappointing for a hotel in this price range. i expected more amenities for the money i paid.
