It’s a bed and breakfast, but breakfast cost extra? We didn’t have breakfast there, but someone use our room or my name for breakfast. Staff was nice, but most amenities will cost extras. Very nice view and cute shared area and patio. Very strong sulfur smell in shower. Still like this place a lot, it was a really cute idea hotel/bed and breakfast place to stay.
