8/10 Good
"I was disappointed there was no one to help me lift my baggage from the sidewalk into the hotel up three steps. The sidewalk is on a slope and my bags are on wheels. I was worried they would roll away. Also, I was disappointed in the bar/restaurant offering; my first night I was informed that they did not serve breakfast and so did not try to eat in there until my last night which was pleasant but a very limited menu."
