OK, but restaurant is below expectations

Rooms are fine, and good location. But the major drawback is the restaurant. Quality is fine, but lower than expected for such a hotel. Buffet are fine, but nothing that really makes you willing to go for dinner. A la carte are ok, but takes a long time to arrive. However all personnel are very nice, and always ready to help.

The room was fine. The restaurant was limited in options. The service was poor. The helpers and servants need training in hospitality. They should not look to rush customers and clients to grab their handbags and close doors for them.

Disliked: Amenities
This hotel did not inform guests about amenities that were not available during our stay. The manager was extremely combative when confronted with the issue that advertised amenities (such as the pool) were not available for guest use. The rooms are extremely loud due to being able to hear everything in the room next door. While amenities can sometimes not be available, this was all made worse by the way management handled the situation, which included lying to us about what was and was not available. It was so awful we wound up leaving a day early to move to another hotel after the manager all but told us to leave.
