Clean room and staff were excellent from beginning to end. Very pet friendly. Only real downside was the breakfast. Menu was good but number of the listed items were missing. For the gluten free breakfast instead of substituting or increasing items to compensate the serving was half the size. One rasher of bacon, 4 mushrooms, small amount of beans and crispy scrambled eggs
