Major staffing issue in kitchen and hospitality - we waited 40 mins for a sharer and starter on Saturday night, then it all came together. Another table of 6 waited 1 hr 40 mins for one salad to arrive! Salmon dish was tiny and overcooked. Sent it back. The waiter Omar was brilliant at service recovery and very apologetic - hats off to him. Breakfast was pretty poor too - only one coffee machine for hundreds of guests, food took ages to be replenished and tables not cleared. Staff on reception not so helpful - on arrival on Saturday afternoon after a very long journey I was advised the pool would be open until 8.45pm, to then go to the spa at 7pm to find it was closed on weekends at 6.45pm - very annoying! Specifically booked the hotel for use of the pool. When I did use it the facilities were dated, pool smaller than photos suggest and an aqua class was going on one morning! Best part was the room - nice size room, nice furnishings, good bed and a fridge. This is why I haven’t given it a ‘terrible’ rating. Mostly clean but dust on lamps and headboard. Good easy parking. Overall a 90’s tired hotel needing some updating with major service issues.
