eggs orderdated roomminimal toiletries
The breakfast included eggs prepared to order.
The room felt dated and lacked a cozy atmosphere. Minimal toiletries were provided, just a small hand soap and a mini sachet of shower and shampoo. I expected more for the price. It really wasn't enough to wash both hair and body.
