Garden Court eastgate

Check in staff where friendly but exceptionally slow. Aircon in the room blows cool air and it worked out better to open the window. The room has a patio but its locked with no key available to open it. The bar / restaurant had a closed sign in front of it at 1330 in the afternoon when lunch was advertised as available. No Bar staff on duty and eventually one of the house keeping ladies offered to help after 15 mins of standing around. Tables were covered in ants on the Saturday morning breakfast service. Definitely wont be staying there again.
