    Breakfast was simple and basic. Some fruit, toast with jam & butter. No other condiments. Some muffins (too sweet... but that is the overall USA problem). Coffee, tea. Cereal & milk. It was nice to sit in the courtyard instead of the breakfast...

    Charming wild west experience! Beautiful courtyard with citrus trees! One minute's walk from Old Town transit centre (free shuttle from airport). Dee is a chatty and helpful host.
