The Hotel looks good and has beautiful bath robes. On the negative side, the bathroom floor has a large number of dirty old cracked tiles, there was no convenient charging point for my iPhone, there were continuous strange noises, thin walls.and the restaurant does not open for breakfast. Two Stars max.

I like the location for the places I wanted to visit. I had looked up for a stay with a pool and it has said that this hotel has a year around indoor pool which was a reason I chose it, however when I inquired at the from desk it did not have a pool

It has olde world charm and the staff were friendly and helpful. The main problem was the lack of breakfast service. There was no indication online that breakfast had ceased being served after covid. Suggesting Macdonald's is a very poor substitute for the aroma of bacon, eggs and fresh toast being prepared. On line, even The Grand Hotel omelets were recommended! Ceasing breakfast service was a very poor decision! Dinner, however, was very enjoyable

what I liked about the property was the overall ambiance, as well as the cleanliness and great room size. The excellent service from all staff members and the delicous food and wines. My complaint would be the tripping hazard outside the building, between the parking lot and the carriage porch. My husband and I both tripped over it at different times. Our concern is that it could prove quite dangerous to someone with less agility or unsteady on their feet.
