Underwhelming stay. Expected better
basic room menu items
The room was quite basic, especially considering the price. I expected a little more for what i paid. also, when i went to the restaurant, they were out of several menu items. it seems like a shame. Planning could prevent that situation.

adequate stay, some issues
dry burger slow service
the room it was clean and the bed it was comfy enough for the night.
i wasn't happy about the restaurant. i ordered a burger, but it came out dry. the steak was also not cooked how i asked, and we had to wait a long time for our side dishes to arrive. this put a damper on the experience.
