Adequate stay with some issues

bland main meal short staff
The main meal was a bit disappointing. I had roast chicken with barbecue sauce, and the chicken breast was large. It was hard to cut into slices. Most of the other guests left half of their meal. The staff seemed short staffed.

Acceptable Stay with Disappointing Aspects

damaged furniture poor quality food
The hotel staff was friendly, making my stay acceptable.
The room I was assigned had some serious issues. The furniture was quite old and damaged (it looked like it had not been updated in decades). The dinner menu was disappointing and the food quality was lacking, especially the Christmas turkey dinner with sparse trimmings and cold breakfast items.
