Staff are very unhelpful. Each department pushes responsibility on to the next. As a customer you always feel you are being scammed especially when it comes to cash transactions. Nobody has change. This is in an effort to make you give up and not ask for change.

We liked the place, but the room was small. The dining room is good with many options on the menu. We also found the Three Monkeys restaurant nearby pretty good.
