indifferent stafflimited menu
The bar staff acted indifferent . they seemed uninterested in engaging with guests. i found that there wasnt many meal options during my two-night stay. this limitation forced me find other restaurants in the surrounding area and it was frustrating. the room was too warm. Ceiling fans are a must. noises outside in the early morning disrupted my sleep.
