Acceptable stay, but some issues

convenient locationcold chicken wrapforced staff
The location was convenient, near many sites.
The chicken wrap I ordered was only half warm. The other half was cold. I spent the evening feeling unwell. Staff constantly came over, clearing cups before we had finished pouring tea. This felt very FORCED. the food wasn't amazing at all.
