Tripadvisor, the hotel is #13 and the Cafe is #6

Room sales are around 80 ahead of February last year.

Pat shared that he's received a great deal of positive feedback from his guests on the duck dish that was featured on LondonLicious menu, should we look at making this dish a permanent menu item ??

Pat feels that our higher ranking on Tripadvisor is leading to more walk in business and we have to schedule accordingly.

Will do a Good Friday Fish n Chips night in the Cafe this year. menu to follow soon.

Andrea shared that we sold a total of 299 LondonLicious dinners. Will review if we will participate again next year.
