A gull getting his breakfast. What is funny this guy would catch a fish and fly off then come back 5min later. I don’t even know how many times he was doing this but was awesome to watch #wildlife

8.8/10 Excellent! (548 reviews)

We had to ask after being there for 3 full days (going on 4) for housekeeping to come in and change bedding and give more towels. Front desk was very nice along with kitchen staff during the continental breakfast. However, the hot items on the breakfast weren’t good and were barely warm. I didn’t expect much from a continental breakfast but the eggs were very powdery.
