"Hotel was nice but wait staff in the bar were not great. I stood at the bar for quite a while before someone came from the dinning area to serve me. At that point the bartender appeared from a back room behind the bar without an apology. A manager came through who gave out complimentary snacks to other tables and ignored my wife and I."
