tastefully decorated room friendly staff very good food continental breakfast missing breakfast abrupt owner
The room was beautifully decorated and included everything I wanted. The staff were very friendly and helpful, so that I felt welcomed. I also ate in the restaurant, and the food was very good.
I received emails stating continental breakfast was included, but I was told breakfast would be delivered to the room between 8.30 and 9am, and it never arrived. During checkout, the owner very abruptly told us breakfast was not included. I feel that the email should have included the correct information. I felt a little disappointed, which cast a shadow on the morning I was leaving.
