“The grounds present a real visual treat, and the restful beds are worth noting. From what I gather, weddings can impact the dining experience, but the staff seems genuinely helpful. Overall, a stay here appears somewhat uneven.”

the grounds were pretty and spacious.

The room was uncomfortably hot. No air conditioning was available. i requested a fan, and the hotel provided one, but it was noisy, preventing a decent night's sleep. opening the ground floor windows felt unsafe.
