THE GENERAL MANAGER
TOWER HOTEL
PO 0 BOX 53
SF-53501 LAPPEENRANTA
FINLAND
Dear Sir,
The Beefeater Restaurant is very poor and I feel very damaging to the hotel in general. On our first visit, the service was slow, the atmosphere fair and the food fair We would not have gone back however had it not been for the fact that the restaurant Tower was closed on Sunday evening. However what happened on Sunday evening (29th March 1998) was unbelievable.The restaurant was not busy. The service was non existent. After a wait of 15 minutes with nothing except the bread, the wine and water we had ordered arrived. The wine was poured and taken away, the order was taken. We were unable to attract any attention to get more wine poured, one waiter looked straight through us, and when my companion waved his napkin in total frustration to get some service, we watched as the staff ridiculed us by mimicking the action. Eventually we got some more wine poured, then they would not stop and every time we had a sip they refilled the glass. After nearly an hour the starter arrived. It would appear that it had been around awhile. The snails were inedible, not a hint of garlic, the other starter was dried out on the top. We walked out, and went straight to the front desk to register our complaint, and later that evening the manageress of the restaurant provided a half hearted apology. We went out to eat elsewhere.
Although we were quite happy to pay for the drink, we were somewhat amazed that the following day the front desk had no knowledge of our complaint and when I paid our account had charged us for the food.
I am sure that you will agree that this is a poor reflection on an otherwise excellent hotel, and wasted a lot of our valuable time.
Despite the problems encountered in the Beefeater restaurant and to a lesser degree at the front desk, we had an extremely enjoyable stay.
Yours fathfully,
Jill Johnosn
