poor food qualitydated room

the food quality disappointed me considering the price. my sandwich was made with very thin, cheap white bread. also, the room looked quite dated. it reminded me of a completely different building from the updated lounge and bar areas. the toilet flush was also broken. it just spun around without working properly.
