ABode Canterbury

8/10 Good
"Have stayed here several times before and it has always been a very good hotel in an excellent location. However, this time the breakfast has changed from being extremely good to poor. They claim it includes a bottomless buffet which is nothing more than basic cereal, coffee and tea and limited fruit. Very disappointed. In addition bottled water is no longer provided in the room. Seems like cost cutting."
