We have stayed at the Delamar for five years, enjoying the amenities and local touches like the complimentary sparkling wine. However, during our recent visit, we were disappointed to find the grab-and-go breakfast we expected had been discontinued, and the restaurant dining options were overpriced and underwhelming. Despite this setback, the overall atmosphere and comfort of the hotel still make it a lovely place to stay.
