Parking is limited it’s first come first served. Not sure about breakfast as we didn’t have breakfast there. You do have shampoo conditioner body wash included and you also get toothbrushes and toothpaste incase you have forgotten. Staff was lovely and friendly especially Aliseo. About 30 mins walk into the town center lovely place to stay where you won’t need to drive.
