Very helpful staff, all round the hotel, from check-in to departure. Clean tidy room serviced daily. Breakfast buffet was very good - lot of choice. Dining rooms were very clean. Evening menu was decidedly 'lacking' something. Choicve was very limited & very fish biased. One evening meal disappointed me greatly. Not as described on the menu. However, on discussing it with reception, the matter was fully resolved. Overall, a good stay & I would return to the hotel, but hope that by then the menu might have changed
