It was absolutely amazing. I arrived at 2pm and The menager was so nice to me that even check in was possible straight away. I received 10 procent discount with ordered food in pub downstairs. I never ate that good testing English breakfast like there. Place very highly recommend and I will for sure be back there myself .
