complimentary teabreakfast absencebusy road
The room was large and came with complimentary tea and coffee, acceptable.
I had booked this room with the impression that breakfast would be included. But no breakfast was available. The closest café was a solid ten-minute walk. That walk was not something I particularly appreciated early in the morning, and the road was busier than I would have preferred.
