a decent stay

invested staff complimentary upgrade unique experience expensive breakfast basic buffet parking charge
i found the staff were invested in each guest, it. we got a double room and upon arrival found we had a complimentary upgrade. i stood in my pyjamas facing the park, it was an experience.
breakfast wasn't included, so it was quite expensive for me and my family. i was charged a lot for a basic buffet. parking also cost extra unless you booked direct with the hotel.

Acceptable stay but some issues

cold room no apology
the room was clean and had everything i needed.
The room was very cold. I rang reception. they brought a fan heater. It only worked for a few minutes before blowing cold air. i complained again, but reception said they would look at it, so i was freezing my entire stay. There was no apology.
