live cooking good omelets helpful staff situations support small rooms expensive price steam room sauna use

i really loved the breakfast. live cooking created very good omelets. the staff provided water and sweets when i left. the support in difficult situations was also very helpful.

i felt the rooms were too small for the price i paid. they seemed to want to charge extra for everything. i thought using the steam room and sauna should be included.
