minor issues during stay

untrained staffmediocre dinner
The staff seemed undertrained. No one offered me a glass for my drink, even though i ordered prosecco. i had to request mugs to use the tea and coffee facilities. the tv in the dining area was too loud during my dinner. it distracted from what i felt was a very mediocre meal, especially considering the price.
