I had a lovely experience celebrating my daughter's 21st birthday at the Park Hotel. The staff quickly resolved a misunderstanding regarding decorations, and our meal was delicious. However, my family's recent stay for a funeral highlighted some areas needing improvement, especially regarding service speed and attention during dining. Overall, while the hotel has some wonderful aspects, the dining experience could definitely use refinement.
