poor lighting dirty tape
The entrance had bad lighting and the floor was full of logs, it looked messy. two steps were hard to see because the yellow tape was so dirty. That tape should highlight the steps! i also had to fight off flies while trying to eat at table 7. the whole place was like it needed a good clean.
