Review of Mount Lavinia Hotel

I came here last April and was very disappointed. I have come back and over the last 3 weeks i have stayed at the mount 3 times. I have given a 4 star review as i feel that some of the rooms need refurbishment. I'm glad to see the pool area service is much better and the food and variety of food is still excellent here. However after being a regular guest at the mount for over 20yrs i must say the gym has never been looked at by management. I am sure its been the same for the last 20yrs with old machines that look pre-historic and are dangerous to use. Dear Mount Lavinia did you really think nobody would notice? The pointless games room and bar area should be scrapped and all 3 rooms NEED to be kitted out with a state of the art gym perhaps wth TRX facilities. I have noticed its becoming more and more expensive to stay at mount Lavinia now, so i think its vital that a state of the art gym facility is available to guests to justify the price increases. Also please change those awful shower curtains to glass panels.
P.s Thanks so much to Aruni at the pool terrace who has made me feel special for many years now and the guys who open the door who i have known for many years. You guys make my stay special every time i come here.
