All the staff in the hotel was really helpful from the booking in and booking out to the cleaners that did our room always greeted us with a smile and the service from the breakfast team was excellent. We were a party of two and we stayed for two nights having breakfast on both days. The food was a good quality and freshness and the variety of choice from cereals to pastries fried breakfast omelettes bacon and sausage rolls was all prepared and came to the table nice and hot. I would recommend this hotel and would be definitely using Apex again.
