underwhelming stay, i guess

limited choicebarely warm food
The language barrier was a pain, i will say. staff didn't seem to understand basic requests like 'red wine' or 'a knife', , made dining awkward. It seemed like i needed google translate for every meal. also, the food was often disappointing. There wasn't much choice, and what was there often looked unappetizing. plus, the cooked dishes were barely warm, and the vegetables were mush. i am not sure if i'll ever be back
