disappointing menu outdated decor
The food in the Bistro was supposedly a highlight, but I found it disappointing. The menu needed some imagination. Plus, the room I had was oddly placed. It seemed like it was miles away from everything. I swear I needed a map to find my way back from breakfast. This trek shouldn't be part of the experience. And the room decor? So outdated it was like stepping back into another decade.

really good breakfast helpful staff member well kept ground noisy room outdated decor missing fridge
The breakfast was really good! I enjoyed eggs cooked exactly as I requested (they were perfect!). The staff members at reception were lovely and helpful. The hotel grounds were well kept and beautiful.
The room seemed a bit noisy since it was near the service entrance and some kind of generator (I could hear some noises). The room decor looked slightly outdated. There was no mini-fridge in the room, which would have been convenient.
