When a co-sleeping child aged 18 or under is 5 or under, breakfast is free as well. The menu labels the 8 items subject to food allergy labeling, but everything, including the 8 specified allergenic ingredients, is prepared in the same kitchen, so the hotel cannot guarantee that no symptoms will occur. Even if you book a plan that includes breakfast, children's breakfast is not covered by the plan and is settled at the hotel.
