Underwhelming Stay

clean roomlack of air conditioningslow room service
The room was clean and tidy, providing the basics for our short stay.
The room lacked air conditioning, a problem considering the price.. The shower setup felt dated, especially with the high bathtub sides. Ordering wine to the room took an hour. That is unacceptable.

I appreciated the architecture. It's fine with lovely grounds. the breakfast was excellent. they accommodated my non-dairy needs with several options, and i also enjoyed club sandwiches for lunch one day. They were a treat.
i noticed the hotel needs some tlc. it retains beautiful character, however, it could benefit from a fresh coat of paint. i saw this particularly in the spa area.
