adequate, but some issues

slow service cold breakfast
The room was clean and well kept. This was acceptable.
The breakfast service was very slow. I asked multiple times for someone to take our order. the restaurant staff seemed distant, even as other tables also complained. the full english breakfasts arrived cold. I do not expect this.
