really good experience, i will come back

warm greeting swift check-in prompt delivery prompt taxi
the reception staff greeted me warmly. my room had everything i needed, including requested robes and ice delivered promptly. the availability of a mini-fridge allowed me to keep my beverages cool for my travels. the taxi button ensured a very prompt taxi service to town.
The locker room facilities could benefit from an upgrade. They seemed a bit worn.

slow service dessert 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).
