mixed feelings about my stay

early bar closure poor menu choice

i was frustrated because the bar closed so early (it closed at 10 pm). the menu also lacked variety. it was disappointing that there were no snack options. the option to eat in the bar area was not available, even with plenty of tables.

underwhelming stay

outright refusal medical issue

friendly staff greeted me upon arrival, acceptable.

My room felt smaller than a standard shed. It triggered a panic attack so i requested a refund to go elsewhere, but they outright refused, even with my documented medical issues.
