The staff was amazing and courteous, but not some much for the warm breakfast: adding bacon and ham as an option in the menu would be a good idea, especially if you're staying more than one night. The other items offered for the breakfast was good.

The room is a good size and clean. Beds are comfy. Website breakfast times do not match the QR you are asked to scan in the room. Small pool is a nice touch.
