adequate but underwhelming visit
unappealing buffetpoor service
the breakfast service was a mess. i was told to find my own table. i spent several minutes wandering around trying to find one that was set up. the buffet was unappealing. you had to go into a different room to toast bread, assuming you could find any. this situation took over fifteen minutes. it certainly ruined my morning.
