decent stopover, some issues noted

bland food offensive sign
the receptionist was knowledgeable, offering a quick check-in.
The food quality disappointed at the wedding breakfast. guests described the food as bland and dry, resembling pub fare rather than wedding quality. It was insensitive, and staff never addressed this issue.
