"I like the hotel and stayed here a few times before. The room is comfortable and the location suits me well. The last couple of times however, the food in the restaurants was not great, the service was slow. The bar was serviced by some random employee who didn’t really know what they were doing and served me a cheap semi dry wine. Notable for a region known for its wines. The shower-head was also broken and fell when I turned the water on. Overall it felt like the place was loosing it. I am not sure I will get back there on my next trip. Bummer…"
