"Breakfast was out of stock of all eggs and sausage 2 days we were there. Super long wait to find staff because the sign is always up at the front desk saying they are away doesn't seem to be someone who sits at the desk they seem to be busy doing other chores - I don't think the staff was Lazy just being multi tasked too much. When they did finally get to the desk they were very helpful."
