This hotel and restaurant was updated and very nice to look at. The staff were lovely, however I felt that there wasn’t enough of them, they seemed to be covering everything; the bar, the reception desk, the podium to be seated for your meal and even serving. I really felt that the staff were trying their best but were run off their feet. I also had the feeling that the cook was on his own as well, it took ages to get drinks and every course; 15 minutes for ice cream. I cannot fault the staff though. One girl in particular was very attentive and helpful.
One thing I would say about the hotel, take your thermals! It was freezing! I sat shivering through my meal and it took ages to heat up in the room. It was very cold outside and there isn’t really any separation from the front door to the restaurant area.
We were waiting a while for food to be replaced at breakfast. We must have come in at the wrong time and everything was just getting put in the oven but, again I felt that perhaps it was because they were short staffed. I felt very sorry for the chef as there was quite a lot of people waiting and it must have been quite stressful for him, but he was very nice and professional and took it in stride.
Overall, I would stay here again but bring cozy clothes and jammies. I wouldn’t dine here again though, it’s not because it took so long but because I feel the quality of the food isn’t what it used to be. The meal was ok but i think I’d rather go out for food.
