The property was poorly maintained! Continental Breakfast was very bare minimum. Old boiled eggs sausage links dry hash browns and warm beans. Minimal cereal station with toast and coffee. There was tea selection available but you have to ask for hot water that was only from the tap! Definitely wouldn’t recommend!
