The breakfast was just fine. Everything offered was fresh and tasted good. The room we had was clean but it was very hard to get to, especially with a lot of luggage. Had steps to negotiate and the hallway was very narrow. Could not get the luggage cart all the way to our room due to 2 sets of steps.
