a tender escape

cozy vibeattentive staffdreamy gardensoutdated decor
I adored the cozy vibe felt throughout the hotel. the staff showed such care. They seemed to anticipate every need. i especially loved the gardens, they looked like a dream, a testament to the gardener's care.
The room felt a little outdated. The decor seemed to carry stories from another time. i think a small refresh could weave a bit more brightness into the space.

the staff were helpful and friendly. the breakfast selection was good.
The room was small, it felt cramped. there was a wedding party and the loud music vibrated through my room until late. I ended up sitting in my car, it was so loud! there was also no quiet space to relax inside.
