adequate stay with some letdowns

friendly staffbreakfast hamperdisrupted plans
the staff were cute and friendly. the location was close to many hiking trails.
i booked a stay that was supposed to include breakfast. instead of a cooked meal, i received a hamper with a croissant, fruit, and flapjacks. this affected my plans because i had to find breakfast elsewhere and didn't have time for my walk.

The room was very clean. It had all the usual items (i. e. towels, soap, shampoo). The shower was particularly good and very hot. Breakfast was cooked to order and spot on. It was ideal for the day ahead. Meals were superb with generous portions.
One staff member seemed a little too self-absorbed.
