    The wait staff constantly didn’t bring drinks and food requested and we had to ask numerous times for the sane request. You need a manager to supervise your staff.

    I suggested my brother and sister in law, visiting from the USA, stay at the Winchester. It’s a grand dame, but not ostentatious. Very well situated, enjoyed a morning walk on the promenade. Easy access to where they wanted to visit. I have had...
