En el restaurante podrían portarse mejor. En el turno de tarde/noche de mal humor, metiendo prisa y no sirviendo casi media hora antes del cierre porque según decía"quiero irme a casa y no salir de aquí tarde". El horario es hasta las 23:30 y a las 23:00 cerraba caja.

The hotel is a bit old. And it needs to improve its buffet, which, although everything was of quality, was a bit limited.
El hotel está un poco viejecito. Y necesita mejorar su buffet que aunque todo era de calidad era un poco limitado.
