Wrest Point
My room was upgraded, and I thank to the hotel management. Breakfast was really nice but not the hot coffee or chocolate from the machine. Ideally, it should be freshly made and serve.

Clean room, kind staff but there was a few pieces of gym equipment that weren’t working (peloton bike and cross trainer) which we were looking forward to using.
