"Clean, well maintained hotel , well furnished and great team. BUT - BREAKFAST is much under the expected standards of a Clayton hotel. Awful plasticky looking and tasting scrambled eggs, no fried eggs, poor quality sausages, poor choice of cold meats, poor choice and quality of pastries, tinned tomatoes… try to avoid breakfast if u go. The room prices are too high for the quality of breakfast on offer. I’ve been to many Clayton hotels all over the UK- the breakfast in this one is absolutely under the expected standard"
