There should be times posted for restaurant hours and reservation options. Food at lunch restaurant was not very good. Fish and Chips were from a freezer and were way too pricey for what you were getting. Rooms were adequate but could have used a fridge and microwave,

When I arrived at 7:30 pm, they sent me to my housing area in Building 14. The whole building was being cleaned. My room was finished a little before 8 pm. While I waited outside my room, several large mosquitoes chose to check me out. They should have told me the room was not ready, and then I would have waited in the lobby instead.
