Adequate , but Disappointing Room Service
no menu cash refusal
I was frustrated when I discovered there was no room service menu in my room. I had to call down to reception to find out what options were available , a minor inconvenience I didn't expect. Also , the bar staff refused to take cash after a certain hour , forcing me to charge everything to the room or go without a drink.
