Pls turn down the music in the foyer. Its not a disco and you cant sit and enjoy in the lounge area. Late night food had Potato chips with Toastie. Really? Extremely disappointing.Quality of cooked food in Buffet was sub standard. Scrambled eggs runny. Hash browns overcooked. Fresh cut fruit very raw and very poor esp cantelope, pineapple etc
