Expedia said it was room only but when we checked in we were told it was actually included so it was nice. The property is absolutely beautiful, it’s small and convenient right in front of a spectacular castle a couple blocks from downtown, everything was so close and so nice. The room was a little bit small as we took the cheapest option, but good in general.
