The breakfast included a wide selection of items. it was more or less perfect. the kids appreciated playing pool in the bar room. Table football was also available.

The hosts were very friendly. My room was clean. The breakfast was tasty. The hotel offered parking onsite so I did not have to search for it.
The room could have used some more drawer space to store clothing.
