I don't write many rewiews, but to be honest I've felt compelled to do so, as I think the seabank has been getting a few unjust, and unfair reviews. I am actually a head chef myself, working in a very busy hotel in my hometown of arbroath, and I'm on a rareday off. So here goes! Yes the hotel is a bit dated, yes the lift is to small, and yes there are loads of stairs. But everyone knows this before they get there, so no need to keep banging on about it. So on arrival, yes it was very busy, but also very well organised. Keys, info, and broad smiles everywhere were the first impressions we received. Next my wife wasn't happy with the situation of our room next to the air conditioning, which was promptly and efficiently sorted out. At the same time I was waiting for my new keys, at least another two customers were helped out with their own problems, nothing is to much for the hotel staff to sort out quickly and always with a smile. The entertainment was varied, something for everyone, and the food is good, we especially enjoyed the hot and cold buffet after the grand national. The rooms are bright and well furnished, and clean, and housekeeping do a great job. Special mention to the waiting staff who never stop at every single meal service. The staff make the hotel special, and the management train the staff. So the manager James must be congratulated. The seabank isn't perfect, but nothing ever is, but it does do exactly what it says on tin! So keep it up seabank, we will be back for hogmany
