파크 - 호텔 인젤리

I didn’t ask for the lake view as I was riding my j by Ike around the lake, and really just wanted a cheap hotel. So I’m grateful for my view of the parking lot, because it was comfy and I wasn’t in the room except to sleep. Breakfast comes with the room and I usually don’t take the hotel breakfasts because they aren’t what I want. It was ok, with a view of the lake.

Stayed here in 1983 for my wedding and decided to test the restaurant with one of their superb iced coffees. The ice cream menu was full of promise with different flavours and an elaborate sauce. The 3 ice creams when served consisted only of iced coffee topped by whipped cream and poor expresso. The Maitre d' explained that it was made by an apprentice in the kitchen who was unaware of the recipe or the menu and there was nothing that he could do about it. We complained, paid and beat a retreat - perhaps it will have improved in 10 years time but my expectation is that it will be demolished and rebuilt properly to meet the requirements of the new flats being built next door. Maybe they will offer cream teas but that needs someone in the kitchen able to follow the recipe for scones.
