the breakfast was AMAZING!!! it included scrambled eggs. i definitely recommend the scrambled eggs with your breakfast. the staff was really friendly and cute.
i found the room to be very dated. the cold water pipes made a racket when i turned the tap on. there was sediment in the tap water, so i couldn't drink it.
