6/10 Good

Disappointing stay for such an iconic hotel
Comfortable hotel, great situation and views into the old course 18th fairway and green. Reception staff friendly and efficient. Breakfast - poor service, staff disinterested, 25 - 30 mins to get served. Ran out of basics despite not being busy. Dinner - first course dry and tasteless. Sent back and kitchen unable to provide a second attempt (despite the head chef being in the kitchen - presumably hiding in shame! ) waiting staff helpful and apologetic. We were not charged for the starter.

Amazing
Wonderful experience at the Rusacks hotel. The rooftop bar allowed us to see the old course for what it is and rooms were very clean and comfortable. Will definitely stay there next time.

4/10 Fair

It’s a great location and people who work in the hotel are very nice and helpful. The room smelled bad like smoke and garbage. I was moved to another room - towel was dirty, tv didn’t work and one of the bathroom utilities were broken. they fixed when I asked.
