Staff was friendly. They seemed happy to work there! Gardens were also well kept and extensive, I gotta say.
The room was a little dated. I think the WiFi connection needed some help because I got only 3-4Mb/s max, isn't great.

The staff members were attentive! Breakfast was always a pleasure due to Gabby, she remembers faces from previous visits. The king size bed in my room was very comfortable, a plus. Parking was available right next to the hotel.
The dining room could use some plants. But still it was good.
