I went to the bar hoping to get something to eat and drink and got neither. I understand that some people waited over two hours for their food only to receive wings that were cold. I waited almost an hour and nobody ever came by to take my order so I left and went back to my room. It is my understanding that the lady at the front desk was also taking orders in the bar and I fully understand she can’t be two places at the same time.
