The happy hour was a joke! i arrived one minute late because i got a bit turned around. they flatly refused to serve me a drink. it felt petty. There's no other food or drink service anyway. also, it was uncomfortably warm. they don't have air conditioning and the fan offered was broken. it was really frustrating
