Our reservations said that breakfast for 2 was included. We were given a voucher for $15. This did not even cover 1 of the meals.

Thank you for your review. We will look into the disparity between our offerings and what's advertised on this website. We have a full service kitchen and bar on site and do not offer complimentary breakfasts, but instead a voucher for cash value towards dining.
