onsite restaurant decent restaurant offer no response poor customer service bothered owner
the restaurant onsite had a decent offer. i found it within a bus ride of the city center!
i contacted the inn twice before writing this review but they failed to respond! i guess the owner couldn't be bothered. the overall impression of management is that customer service is not a priority.

faulty toilet expired yogurt
The room I got was not excellent at all. The toilet did not flush properly (I did report it, but nothing happened). Breakfast was quite poor. They had a Greek yogurt in a plastic pot from the supermarket with an expired date. (I was surprised to see that!)
