Room was good, mattreses were hard as usual for most hotels. At least this one offers a room with two queen size beds and has a breakfast. Pool was too cold to use even though it is indoors.

No much of a selection, 2 pastries, 4 slices of bread. They ran out of waffle mix, coffee cups. The guy behind the counter had pajamas on. No kidding. They were supposed to open the breakfast but opened it up at 6:35. Looks like they just woke up.
