overrated, maybe?

wide range food option unwelcoming service watched feeling

the breakfast buffet was acceptable. it had a wide range of food options.

the service felt unwelcoming. staff often asked for my room number when i ordered just a few drinks. it created a sense of being watched, which i didn't appreciate.
