mixed experience

closed kitchen cold room

the food situation was a bit of a letdown. i arrived hoping for a relaxed dinner at the hotel restaurant, but the kitchen had already closed (apparently 15 minutes prior to my arrival). this resulted in a somewhat pricey and unremarkable indian meal elsewhere. also, the room felt pretty cold upon arrival, though it did eventually warm up after i returned from dinner. (thankfully!).
