This is the first time of travelling both for business and pleasure over 40 years that I have felt the need to review so negatively. Service at dinner and breakfast was painfully slow. This was not helped by the chef, in full view, who at breakfast, was more intent on bantering with his colleague than focusing on getting food out.. Not at all focused. Our breakfast took 35 minutes in what was a very quiet dining room at the time. Poached eggs were appallingly over cooked for our avocado and eggs. Room 17 smelt and felt damp. Very tired and in need of refurbishment at these prices. Very overpriced based on service, quality and comfort. I'm sorry, I'm really unhappy about what we paid for our night away.
