unpleasant odorinflexible check-in
The ensuite bathroom emitted an unpleasant odor. the cost seemed excessive for the hotel's reality. check-in time was inflexible. Arriving at 2:15 pm, i thought an early check-in attempt could have been made. the staff did not even bother to check if the room was ready, they asked no details. This was disappointing after a long drive.

Our standard double room was clean! and the location near the river was especially nice. breakfast in the conservatory overlooking the river was a highlight. It provided a lovely start to each day. the hotel grounds had plenty of space for my morning walks with my dog. Such a bonus.
The menu in the restaurant was a little more limited than i anticipated. It could use some variety.
