The breakfast was quite disappointing. I ordered eggs benedict, but the hollandaise sauce tasted too strongly of vinegar. The service was also slow. It took a while to get someone's attention. the staff were lovely but the bartender was alone at 5:30-6pm in a busy hotel bar. it was going to make us late, the staff were lovely but the bartender was alone at 5:30-6pm in a busy hotel bar with an event going on, so we couldn't even have a glass of fizz or a birthday cheers before we had to rush off to the theatre as our drinks never arrived and weren't made yet.
