The hotel Staff were amazingly friendly … it was the start of the low season but, on the 24th December they had a Christmas party for locals which took over the only restaurant, the others were closed due to off season whilst this make sense it wasn’t advised in Ada Vance (not one the begrudge others fun) but, don’t operate a hotel when no amenities are available - after a bit of arguing I managed to get food but, ate in my room. I would call it room service but that wasn’t operating. I tried to order online externally 4 times but was cancelled al times and little choice.
Pool bar closed (pool was dirty and not attended to) as we’re all the other restaurants / facilities. The mini bar in the room has been taken away and left with a tiny bottle of gin and whiskey .. I tried to indulge in the gin after a long journey there on my first day but, no mixers soo had to persuade one of the restaurant workers to sell me some lemonade as reception said there was nothing they could do— as it was past 11pm most things were closed when I arrived.
I do think the hotel need to decide if to open or not I their winter season .. it could be amazing but, sadly nothing like the 5 star I was expecting !
Due to lack of local amenities / shops/ restaurants I strongly urge to hotel to look to reinstate the mini bar if they are to stay open (I don’t buy it was took away due to Covid- this conflicts with the notice in the room “guest like to use fridge for other items “)
