Summary: Room service for evening food was the worst we have experienced at any hotel. Food even came without a cover - this seems extraordinary in this day and age! We eat breakfasts elsewhere given previous experience here. Shower literally rained on toilet however advised renovations on the cards. Good position, very friendly staff.
