the included breakfast was fine. the location was within walking distance of the town.
The housekeeping didn't refill all the soap and shampoo bottles. a half-empty bottle of hand wash and a third of shampoo gave the impression of leftovers, it was poor presentation. also, i could hear everything happening in the restaurant area. Conversations were very clear.
