Acceptable Stay with Disappointing Service

well-equipped roompoor serviceconcerned staff
The room was well-equipped.
The service was not good. I waited an excessive amount of time for food. After eating the ribs, I felt very ill, and I missed two days of work. The staff did not seem concerned when I mentioned this to them.
