warm bread scrambled eggs
i stayed in a twin room and it was adequate. Breakfast included yogurt, scrambled eggs, sausages, and bacon. The selection of warm bread was definitely a bonus!
The staff seemed a little uninterested. They did not look up from the computer when i passed the reception. warm water smelled of sulfur.
