The entire bar/restaurant staff off December 24 and December 25. When I booked the hotel, I thought there was going to be breakfast available in the restaurant unfortunately the staff wasn’t there and of course all the restaurants were closed nearby. This was very inconvenient. A test. The staff was very inconsistent the 24th 25th and 26th of December. I don’t know that I would stay there again.
