"I was there on business – it was a black-tie dinner for one of the teams in which I participate. The drinks service which was supposed to happen at 6:30 pm, prior to the meal at 7 pm was severely delayed. So of course our members supported your bar – maybe this was the intention or am I just being cynical? The dinner was quite nice but the desert course very disappointing. I had baked cheesecake. It was not baked. It was a cheap and nasty instant pudding type cheesecake, sweet and sickly – with an even sweeter watered-down jam on the side. I think you have the nerve to call that a coulis! The disco after the meal was extraordinarily bad. So ridiculously loud at 75% of the company left the room – many didn’t return. The DJs were asked to lower the sound and they adjusted it very slightly – but it was still too uncomfortable to stay in that room. They were told that many people would come back if they just played at a reasonable volume – our pleas were ignored. That dreadful disco really spoiled what could’ve been a very enjoyable night. I went swimming the following morning. The leisure facility is new and bright and shiny (or just had a facelift!) But the pool is TINY. Not much bigger than a private pool! And when 70% of it is given over to kiddies swimming lessons, and one family with two kids monopolises the remaining Lane – there was no space in which to swim! Such a shame – what were you thinking to put such a small pool at a hotel? "
