The included breakfast was superb (you can choose from a selection of hot breakfast dishes as well as the included continental breakfast buffet), and I loved the iPad coffee tap! The only downside was a wedding over the weekend I stayed, which you could hear, but it wasn't too bad so I would overall still recommend!"
