We had booked this hotel on the basis that it offered breakfast. If this choice was not available we would have looked at another hotel. Unfortunately on the first morning we were told that the Chef had called in sick at short notice and therefore no breakfast was on offer. We were given a voucher foe $20 each for a cafe close to the hotel. unfortunately that voucher did not go too far to give us a good breakfast and we had to pay extra to get one main breakfast and a coffee each. Later on in the evening we were informed (only when asked) that there was no breakfast service for the weekend and once again we were provided with a similar priced voucher for the weekend. After some discussion we were offered $30 total as compensation for the extra we paid for our breakfast. There were better choices to be had near the sea front at a slightly lower cost but the voucher was
