unfriendly staff warm room
The breakfast was good, setting me up for the day.
I wanted dinner options when I arrived, but I couldn't reach anyone by phone beforehand. A staff member showed me to my room, but they weren't very friendly, they just seemed bothered. The room was also too warm, even after opening all the windows. It made it hard to sleep. This meant voices and beeping from the bar disturbed me late into the evening, annoying.
