On the down side - the room had a double bed and not a great deal of room to manoevre, the restaurant reminded me a little of a cafeteria and at the sides, where we were all placed for Dinner on the Friday evening, the tables were too close together, so no chance of a private conversation. For the breakfast on the Saturday morning we were given a table in the centre area but on Sunday morning, back to the sides and bottoms practically in your face as people squeezed past to their seats - not pleasant first thing in the morning. Breakfast itself, was only adequate - I requested poached eggs and on both occasions, they were delivered on a cold plate so that by the time I had gone to the buffet for my bacon, the meal was barely luke warm.
On the up side, the Dinner menu was excellent and the food in the bar, most enjoyable. The bar itself is a large and comfortable area.
What saves this hotel are the staff who universally were all wonderful. The receptionist with long red hair when we checked in was SO welcoming, the restaurant Manager and his staff (especially the young University Student who served us on Friday night) looked after us brilliantly, the Dutch Bar Manager was just a credit to the establishment and the Spanish receptionist on our Check out, brilliant.
We would certainly return and it is down to the staff.
