Room was clean, staff was attentive and helpful. All the property listings said a hot/full breakfast was included. First morning we were told that there weren’t enough guest so there was only continental breakfast. There was very limited fruit and stale danish. Single serving cereal was the best thing available. Second morning there was a full breakfast but everything was cold. Biscuits were hard, pancakes were cold and so hard I had to cut with a knife. Even the gravy was cold and had the consistency of oatmeal. Would highly recommend NOT purchasing room with breakfast.
