Satisfying Breakfast Options

I enjoyed the breakfast at Seaview Gardens Hotel, which included eggs, beans, cereal, and toast. Even though it was basic, I found it to be just enough to start my day. The staff was quick to refill any empty trays once I asked, which made the experience much better. I appreciated the variety offered each morning!

I recently stayed at this hotel and found it had some really great aspects, but also some challenges. The room I initially received was quite dark and unsatisfactory, but when I moved to a better one, I was pleased with the upgrade. The breakfast options were basic but sufficient, although the service at times left me feeling ignored. The location was convenient and close to many attractions, making it a worthwhile visit overall.
