Negative Reviews
negative:
Rooms need a re-vamp
Some guests have been disappointed to find that some bedrooms within the hotel are quite outdated. Most communal areas have been renovated with the rest of the bedrooms in plan for the near future. That said, feedback from guests indicates that although rooms are in need of updating, they are kept spotless by housekeeping staff.
negative:
Entertainment not up to scratch
Guests feel that the entertainment at the hotel could be improved throughout the day and into the evening, with some feeding back that there is a lack of variety from day to day.
negative:
Queue for your supper
The daily window for booking into the a la carte restaurants is quite small, resulting in long queues for some of the more popular options. Guests have also provided feedback that the sitting times for the restaurants are not ideal, with the first being too early and the latter too late.
