Mixed Experience due to Limited Food Choices

friendly stafflimited food selectionunclear menu

The staff were helpful and friendly , especially when we needed directions.

I found the food selection to be quite limited and overpriced. The menu seemed to focus on fancier options that didn't suit my taste. The breakfast menu felt unclear , and I would have preferred a visible menu to understand all choices better. I think improvements to the food and menu options are needed.
