Decent Location, Some Issues

convenient locationpoor parkingowner attitude
The location was pretty good. It was convenient to the bus station, a real plus if you use public transport.
The parking was not good. I asked for extra milk, and the owner's response surprised me. His attitude felt a little off. I expected more from someone in hospitality. The notice said to ask for more milk, but his reaction made me not want to ask again.
