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.

I stayed in the Double Room. The room was super clean. The staff at the reception were friendly. I enjoyed the interesting pictures throughout the hotel.

The staircase to my room needed vacuuming. The carpet had some dirt. The paintwork looked dusty.
