Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Restaurant staff were excellent.
Negative: Pillows were extremely flat so had to use 3 of them. Room service card wasn't collected 1st night. Had to go to reception as WiFi was not working and therefore room phone didn't work. When tray arrived, no cup for tea.
Summary: Not as good as previous visit
