Door to balcony did not seal (daylight could be seen around it with large gaps) so no-see-ums were biting us in our sleep on any uncovered skin. The one female bartender made us feel as if we should be leaving. We had only been there less than an hour & were in the middle of a game. After asking "do you want to check out" everytime one of us stood up, they just brought the bill to us. So we checked out & went somewhere else to spend our money on food & drink.
