Leeds Marriott Hotel
The only issue with breakfast was being placed so closely with other dining guests. It was uncomfortable for ourselves and the other guests.

Breakfast wasn’t that great. Scrambled egg very overcooked and bacon appeared only cooked on one side and underdone. Receptionist was excellent and very helpful and kind offering an upgrade at a reduce price. Room was superb.
