The breakfast was very fulfilling and hot food was provided. It was very busy this morning so I took my food up to my room. Very convenient to Atlantic Beach area and my check in Lady Ms.Jeanette was helping out a couple checking out and they were singing praises about the wild horses. Ms. Jeanette told me to head towards Beaufort and I would find wild horses...I found them..so thank you very much for the tips. I will be back again.
