Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of ups and downs. The rooms had a very comfortable bed and a great shower, but the decor felt dark and dreary with dull peeling wallpaper and old worn-out carpet. On the bright side, the hotel boasted lovely period furniture and delightful gardens with play areas and games for children, tennis courts, and a putting course. Service was fantastic overall, with extremely nice and helpful staff, although I did encounter some rudeness and uncooperativeness from a few individuals. The location was superb as I could easily walk to everything in town, including the Farmer's Market and historic area, despite the tiny amenities provided. The dining experience was a hit or miss, with good but not spectacular meals and limited healthy options. The facilities were well-maintained, but the service lagged behind in some instances. Overall, my stay was enjoyable, with a few areas that could use improvement.
