I really enjoyed my evening meal. The food was cooked perfectly. The service was also quick and efficient. The location was great, and the bar locals offered helpful advice on things to do nearby.
I was surprised to settle my room bill right upon arrival. The way to my room had a damp smell. The room was not properly cleaned, and there was dust on surfaces.
