Breakfast good on first morning but only one waitress looking after busy restaurant on the second. Had to wait for table to be cleared. No clean tables available . No fresh fruit. All croissants gone & no pastries left . Told no more available . Had to wait 40 minutes before cooked breakfast served. Not impressed. Food in bar really good in the evening. Good value for money.
