Acceptable Stay, but I did have an issue

affordable facilitiesrestaurant policyunreasonable circumstance
The facilities was fairly affordable for the area.
The restaurant policy bothered me. I wanted eat food at the bar, and they did not allow it. I had to eat by myself in the room behind the restaurant. This felt unreasonable given the circumstances.
