The food portions were quite generous, though I almost could not finish my meal. The vegetables came separately, offering a nice change from pre-plated meals. The service felt attentive, yet it was not intrusive.
The bathroom had a damp smell, AND there was mould in the grout. Obvious surfaces were clean, BUT other areas needed attention. The room for the kids also smelled damp, a concern.
