Good hotel dinner options, food was good. Rather basic Chaires/tables etc. service was ok but staff “remembering” orders doesn’t always work…bread order forgotten. White wine bottle served was not cold with staff insisting it would cool in ice bucket…changed order to something that was cold. We also had breakfast following day and a good hotel buffet with sufficient options. Table clearing slow though. All suggests maybe have some trouble getting staff…like everywhere at the moment perhaps. But would go again!
