    Confusion upon arrival as I booked room 202 yet was directed to another room that only has a bar to eat at so a party of four made for tough conversations not to mention the music, lights over bar were a tad too loud/bright, they offer no napkins for your lap, odd only had paper cocktail napkins. Chef was very hard to understand between his accent and the music level and no menu guide, had to just eat and hoped we liked. I’ve been waiting a long time to try this place out yet I still don’t know how we didn’t end up in room 202 with the red border around door, need clarification when booking as it was not well defined. Overall 3 stars out of 5
