service needs attention

central location spacious room comfortable room chaotic breakfast slow service unfriendly staff
the location was central with landmarks nearby i found the room to be spacious very comfy and tidy i appreciated the upgrade i received upon arrival due to my ihg status.
the breakfast service was quite chaotic many buffet items ran out quickly i experienced slow service i had to repeatedly ask a server for assistance the staff could have smiled more and been friendlier perhaps it was due to the new year celebrations.
