We arrived and were assinged a ‘suite’, room 200, which did not have a seating area separate from the bedroom as in the pictures. It was a large-ish room that was fine, but had the single worst view out of any hotel window i’d ever stayed at! No exaggeration, a couple of walls with corridor windows and a filthy flat roof, with ducting and beer cans. We asked to be moved but the hotel was full. They told us this was the only suite without a view (lucky me). We were comped breakfast for our disappointment.
After a day exploring the town in the sunshine, we came back and decided to try the newly refurbished and reopened restaurant. It looks amazing, but unfortunately the processes involved in delivering food leaves much to be desired. We waited an hour for our order to arrive, as did other diners. When it finally did turn up, they’d got my partner’s order wrong, delivering a dish with cheese despite us telling them she was intolerant. This was taken away and it was a further 10 or so minute wait until a new dish arrived, during which time she sat watching me eat my food and sampling a little of what i had. Not ideal. The food was good but the wait, apparently due to communication and teething isdues, was way, way too long. This didn’t seem to affect the large table of hotel management, who arrived after us but were served straight away.
This hotel could be really good and obviously they are starting to invest after years of neglect but right now it falls well short.
