The suite was spacious and super clean, with a touch of elegance with thoughtful amenities. The bed provided very nice comfort. The large bathroom added an extra layer of luxury to the experience. The staff remained attentive and amiable during my entire stay, particularly on the wedding day. They ensured every aspect of the reception was flawless. The food was delicious and served hot. Many guests complimented both the venue and the perfect service. The building has much charm, with traditional decor, and the surrounding grounds became fine backdrops for wedding photos. Ample parking is available at the rear of the hotel. The hotel maintains clean, tidy rooms with efficient and friendly staff. I enjoyed a wide range of drinks at the well-stocked bar. Breakfast included a variety of options. I found the hotel decor marvelous, reflecting times gone by.
I observed that some areas could use a bit of modernisation.
