mixed experience
noisy bar area dining space
the location was good for reaching the animal sanctuary.
The bar area felt too much like a public bar. It was noisy. the other bar area wasn't really a bar, just a dining space, which wasn't great.

the location was acceptable, i suppose. it WAS there.
the bar became a public nuisance some nights. the noise seeped into my room and the dining area bar was really depressing. it reminded me of eating in a storage closet.
