antique furnishings modern bathroom food quality steep staircase absent elevator overpriced breakfast
The room was very NICE and furnished with antiques. I find the modern bathroom very convenient. The dining room is one of the best I have eaten in for ambience. The quality of food meets the high standard I expect.
The guest room was located on the second floor, accessible via a steep staircase. The breakfast service seemed overpriced. I was not thanked for my patronage upon departure.

the beef at dinner was tough and poorly cooked. my soufflé was frozen in the middle. i had stomach issues, possibly from reheated sausage at breakfast.. i think they need to overhaul the kitchen.
