Historical Charm

nice groundsopen terracefree parkinghelpful staff
the hotel had really nice grounds that were perfect for a walk after a long drive, so I appreciated having that option. the terrace was open, and i could have a drink outside, it had a nice view of the trees. finding free parking on-site was really helpful too. also the staff was helpful when I need it, and polite.
i think some areas shows its age, and could use some updating but it was ok for my short stay.
