Breakfast is no longer included in the stay. There is a restaurant offering breakfast beginning at 6am onsite now. Towels and bedsheets aren't very soft but for the price I wasn't expecting them to. They have a nice game room and indoor pool. TV channel selection was good. There's a good pizza place across the street you can walk to."
