the staff seemed friendly and helpful. the breakfast had many options, including a vegan option. there was plenty of parking available , which i found convenient.
my sunday lunch was not very good. it was lukewarm, and i should have sent it back. also, no one asked how my meal was, and they did not respond when i said goodbye, that was strange.
