“This hotel seems better suited for guests prioritizing social interaction over attentive service, based on reports of significant delays and inconsistencies, particularly around dining. While the food receives some positive comments, the overall consensus points to operational challenges that impact the guest experience. Prospective visitors should carefully weigh these factors.”
