A stay with some inconveniences

beautiful grounds fantastic selection walking trails corporate energy cold sauna lukewarm jacuzzi
The hotel has beautiful grounds. It features courtyards and walking trails. Breakfast offered a fantastic selection (i ESPECIALLY liked the pastries). The location is just a couple miles outside town.
The service felt quite corporate. I didn't feel particularly valued. The barman refused to make a small modification to a drink (a simple cappuccino). The sauna wasn't warm enough. It was only about 70 degrees. The jacuzzi had a similar issue.

beautiful grounds generous breakfast easy drive
the hotel grounds were extensive and beautifully maintained. i enjoyed the generous and tasty breakfast buffet each morning. the pool area was amazing with comfortable loungers available, though i noticed some minor wear on a few cushions. it was easy to drive to the town from the hotel.
the jacuzzi wasn't as warm as i hoped, it could have been a bit hotter.
