mixed Feelings about this hotel

fair selectionthin wallsinconvenient schedule
the breakfast was acceptable with a fair selection of items.
The room felt small with very little natural light. It was a Double ROOM. the walls seemed thin because i could hear conversations in adjacent rooms. i also found the shuttle schedule inconvenient since it stopped running too early.

The grounds are beautiful with gardens that are well maintained.
The location IS terrible. The hotel hosts weddings every evening. A guest seeking relaxation will NOT find it here. The area around the hotel is also unappealing.

Acceptable Stay. Some Issues Noted

limited breakfastunappealing indoor space
The breakfast selection was not excellent. It lacked variety and creativity. The indoor space provided for breakfast was unappealing. I also found the location somewhat restrictive. Reliance on a car is almost essential. This limited my options for exploring nearby areas without depending on the hotel's shuttle or taxis. This felt isolating. I believe improvements in these areas could significantly .
