I think that booking.com made it deceiving and their advertising for bed and breakfast included in my pricing but it was not. The site should Make it more clear! My husband and I would not have eaten the costly breakfast choices that we had. The breakfast pricing is way over priced. Other than that my stay was wonderful and these things should Be worked out. Staff should all Work Together as a team!
