It is a bit sad for me to see our iconic, beloved, historic Mt.Lavinia hotel, where most of us even celebrated our weddings etc., gone into a state of disrepair, neglect now. I had few foreign guests (from UK and Spain) stay over here for about 20 days, and they said that the hotel needs a huge maintenance overhaul. They are repeat guests at the hotel, and they were bit sad about it, because they do love historic places. One could see the cracks on the floors of the room balconies. One could see the cracks on the outer walls of the rooms etc..etc. This is not just a paint and cement job of repair. Surely this needs a HUGE cost for a total repair/overhaul, where, maybe the owners/management is unable to bear such a huge undertaking ! But, isn't it a worthy enough investment, to preserve this iconic landmark of our nation ? We love this historic place and we want it preserved and protected, and not go into a state of neglect. On another note, I was there today in the lobby, meeting my friends. I ordered a coffee with milk, and a "maalu paang" (fish bun). I was so dissapointed ! I was eager to sip a PIPING HOT coffee. What was served was coffee and milk like the temparature of tap water, which I gulped up in three mouths, because I wanted to finish it off as soon as possible, because of the poor temperature of it. I could not relish it, as expected. The fish bun was equally disappointing. A normal fish bun at a simple bakery or at Perera and Sons will have a better filling inside it ! The filling inside your fish bun was two teaspoons or LESS, it was only just the bun part, with barely a good, tasty filling inside of it. My God, Mt.Lavinia hotel, please get your act together to maintain your standards of a basic coffee and a fish bun served at such a prestigious place !! My guests saw this.
I asked them about their buffet breakfast and buffet dinner which they have daily, and they said it was GOOD, so I'm happy to hear that.
