"Everything was going well, our waitress was lovely and the cocktails were nice. When our food came it was brought over by a different member of staff. We noticed it was the wrong food, we ordered shrimp starter to come with the mains but she had brought over mozzarella sticks (they might have been called mozzarella fingers or something like that). When I mentioned this to her the lady shouted ‘mozzarella sticks’ at me three times as I tried to hand them back. I was a bit shocked and it caused a bit of a scene as other guests started to look over. She then came back with the shrimp and at this point we noticed we had been given regular fries instead sweet potato that ordered so I told her this, she then did and overegragerated puff of her cheeks, rolled her eyes and walked away, no apology at all. My partner and I just looked at each other is shock! I have had bad service before but this was crazy, almost unbelievable. I called our waitress over and explained, at this point I was a combination of shocked, angry and embarrassed. I explained we would like to leave, we had lost our appetite and also felt conscious that other guests were looking over to see what was going on which made us uncomfortable. The manger then came over and offered us the whole meal for free and promised to deal with the rude waitres. But we declined as we just wanted to leave. Easily my worst ever restaurant experience!"

"It seems that the staff could use a bit more experience. Everyone appeared quite young and inexperienced, except for one young man who seemed genuinely apologetic about the situation and clearly has the potential to be a manager, as he recognized the issues. The service was incredibly slow, the menu was lacking variety, and one of the bartenders had a strong odor, suggesting he hadn’t washed in days, and his clothes were quite wrinkled. The first waitress treated me as if I were at a fast-food restaurant. The food was nearly cold upon arrival, although the dessert was quite good. Breakfast items were excellent but overwhelmed by the large number of patrons; they really should manage bookings better if they’re expecting such crowds. I was even suggested to sit in the bar area, away from the restaurant, with four children, which meant I had to keep walking back and forth to get their meals throughout the morning. I had my wedding there once, and the experience was much better back then. The hotel would benefit from having some more experienced staff and a manager regularly monitoring the situation, especially addressing the issues with the bartending staff. Unfortunately, since the hotel modernization, I’ve consistently experienced poor service during three visits. On a positive note, the rooms were comfortable, and the prices were reasonable. I suppose for a Holiday Inn, it may be acceptable, but it used to be so much better."
