A Decent Stay

comfortable bedroomoutdoor areauntrained staffearly clearance
the bedroom was clean, I thought. It was comfortable. We had a view of the outdoor barbeque dining area.
the staff are not trained well, I observed. It's disappointing for a hotel of this standard. The breakfast buffet started to get cleared by 10:25, I saw. Guests were still serving themselves.
