overpriced foodmissing toiletries
The cocktails were decent. the food was overpriced. it was quite disappointing. the quality did not match nearby places. our bed was two pushed-together singles, not very comfortable as a couple. Also there were no toiletries at all in the room! no toothbrushes, toothpaste, shower cap, or tissues. such a nice bath, but no bath salts were present.
