I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was convenient for my needs, but the room overlooked the front of the hotel, which could disturb sleep. The dining options were good, but it was a bit disappointing that they don't use many local products. The service was friendly, and the hotel had a central location for exploring nearby historic sites.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with a standard double bed and sofa, great for two individuals. Unfortunately, the originally assigned room was not available due to unforeseen circumstances. The service was friendly but could improve in some areas. The location is convenient for visiting nearby historic sites but needs some updating. The dining experience was cozy with a lovely fireplace but required more attention from the staff. Despite some drawbacks, the hotel provides a comfortable stay with potential for enhancements.
