beautiful gardensplenty of choicesnoisy fanlimited airflow
the hotel had beautiful gardens that led right down to the river. breakfast was a buffet, and it offered plenty of choices. sitting in the conservatory while eating was pleasant. the hotel grounds were nice too.
the room was quite hot . the windows only opened slightly, preventing any real airflow. a fan was available, but it was old and quite noisy, so i couldn't use it for long
