Overall, our stay was good and we enjoyed it. The place itself was nice and everything was comfortable. However, the breakfast could have been better. There was food available and it was alright, but for the price we paid, we were hoping for more variety and better options. The selection felt quite limited and there wasn’t much to choose from. With a bit more effort put into breakfast, this would have been a much better experience.
