Mixed experience, some issues present

cute staffdelayed check-inlimited storage
The staff were cute and friendly, that was nice.
Check-in was delayed because no one was there upon my arrival. The bar and restaurant remained closed throughout my stay. Limited storage existed and the room felt dark when curtains were drawn to maintain privacy. NO ONE offered a solution.
