mixed experience, some issues with service

adequate roomunattentive stafflacking service
The room size was adequate even for three people.
The restaurant service was lacking, the waitress walked past ignoring us after we asked for a menu. No one cleaned the table. It was quite disappointing. I will not return because of the staff's inattentiveness and lack of service.
