the staff was very nice and so friendly, they really helped with my food allergies. i was able to have an amazing burger cooked perfectly. prices were amazing as well, i would highly recommend it to anyone.
the bed felt hard, and the pillow seemed too soft and offered no support. the heating was not working, but they gave me an oil heater to compensate. they never told me how to use it.
