Having last used this hotel when it was part of the Best western group, we were very disappointed at the current level of operation. We entered the foyer to find small children riding cycles around the marble floored reception area, accompanied by remotely controlled toy cars whizzing around the same place. Reception desk unmanned until a woman stood up from her chair amongst a group of what wss obviously her friends, and came to the desk. No greeting, a sullen appearance, pushed a form towards us, "Fill that in " key pushed at us, and she walked back to her seat with friends. Unbelievable. Whole hotel cold, huge room with tiny radiator in which we slept with jumpers on. Went down to the bar, nobody serving, had to go to find a staff member. A little later, together with other guests we had to search again for a bar person who returned to the bar after an absence of at least 15 minutes, to the disgust of all the waiting guests, however, the following morning our departure ptocess was dealt with by a smartly dressed, polite and friendly young man. That was the only pleasant.aspect of our stay. Very difficult to understand the decline in overall quality and performance of this beautifully locared hotel since it was taken over by the current oprrators. Never again.
