"Didn't have breakfast as it was £15 so we had yoghurts in the room. Was disappointed that the gym was £10 per person and this was not mentioned at the time of booking. Given that this was the reason I booked the hotel, I was a bit annoyed. Probably won't be back. Food was good and staff were lovely."
