However, the reviews aren't without their criticisms. Consistent negative points include the quality of the food, with specific mentions of it often being served cold and not in good condition, posing potential health hazards. The service related to dining was described as cheerful but poor, with long waits and sometimes being ignored. The issue of staffing levels was raised, indicating the community may be understaffed.
