Earliest breakfast is 8.30am which is unheard of, most people staying at hotels would be on business so having to wait for breakfast at 8.30 earliest really isn't convenient

The Westgate was an ideal place to stay for us in Bury St Edmunds. We were only there for one night to visit the nearby Apex Theatre but we used the extra time to visit the lovely shopping centre which was also within easy walking distance. The Westgate was clean and welcoming. Thanks.

Unusually lovely fluffy large bath towels which actually cover one round even if you're not a size 8! Usually bath towels are so small but these were lovely. Comfortable beds and very clean room. The only grumble Ihave was that despite putting the fact that I am vegan on the booking form, no provision was made - no plant based milk or margarine and no understanding of what a vegan breakfast might be. Although I was given a very nice beans on toast with tomato and mushrooms. Expedia rally should ensure that its providers hav e anunderstanding of vegetarian and vegan diets - it is down to them to provide education on that subject. Not difficult. Take responsibility.
