Reviews and Ratings
This hotel offers stunning grounds with deer and geese roaming around, beautiful fountains, and historic charm. However, the experience had some disappointments that make me hesitant to return or recommend to others.
My stay at unit 77 was a mix of positives and negatives. The room was clean and roomy, meeting our basic needs, but it displayed signs of wear and tear and fell short of a luxurious experience. The service was a bit hit or miss, with moments of stress and rudeness, but overall, the staff managed to be friendly and professional. The location was convenient, close to major attractions, although it could benefit from a refresh. The dining options were limited, with some uncertainty about breakfast arrangements. Despite some flaws, the facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.
