Liked: Cleanliness

I was very disappointed that the bar next door did not offer meals. The advertising said meals were available and were good. I would not have booked there if I knew we had to walk in the dark to find a place that served European food…my friend is 94…nearly all nearby restaurants were Asian. Not a good aspect to our stay.
