slow servicedessert order
My stay started well, but it ended with some issues. I found the service at the Blackrock Bar quite slow. The staff looked more interested in socializing than attending to customers. It took a long time for someone to clear our table and take our dessert order (my partner even had time to get a sweater from our room and come back before our plates were cleared).
