helpful staffstrict schedulingfrustrating check-in
The staff was friendly and helpful , offering assistance when needed.
The check-in process was frustrating. I arrived and found that dining was strictly scheduled with only two slots available. It felt unreasonable since I was staying there and wanted to eat at a normal time.
