Review of Esplande Hotel

I was visiting here...only for a drink, but thanks...

I was visiting here...only for a drink, but thanks to some ignorant parking, by a Volvo S40 driver...I was completely unable to open my driver's door, by more than 6". I'm a disabled pensioner who needs full door access. I called reception and a lovely young woman came out to inspect the parking situation.

She was probably 24yo and she couldn't even get her leg inside the footwell...and she was a slim lady. She got in the passenger side and soon moved my car clear, for me to access it.

Wonderful service and a lovely advertisement for The Esplanade Hotel.

I'd also like to mention the young bar manager, who, like her colleague, was a breath of fresh air. Took time too talk and made me feel both welcome and special. Thank you, both.
