poor insulation lumpy bed
I found out later that this place is more for dinner crowds than locals wanting a drink at a bar. There were no stools or standing room. i just ordered a beer, sat at a table, and got questioning looks. also, the bed was lumpy and the window insulation was poor. :(

service fell short
excessive wait time surprising tip
The breakfast selection impressed me with high-quality options and proper coffee. It was a good start to the day.
The service was quite disappointing during a recent visit. I had to wait an excessive amount of time just to be noticed. the waitresses asked me multiple times to confirm my order. This caused some concern. a 12.5% tip was added to the bill, which i found surprising considering the level of service.
