The staff was always very friendly.
The staff was always very friendly.
The room was clearly not or very poorly cleaned. Clipped nails in the bathroom. Rings from glasses on the nightstands and side table. I always find carpeting problematic. The quality of the associated restaurant did not convince us. The chicken was almost impossible to cut because it was so tough. Our toast was forgotten at breakfast once.
Beautiful grounds and very comfortable

Not much counter space around the sink in the bathroom. I had to move a light over by the bed to use for reading.
Great staff. Clean facilities and slightly away from noise of downtown area.
