historic building green grounds tasty decor unfriendly staff updated decor poor check-in

The hotel has a grand historic building. I liked the green grounds around it. They are ideal for nature walks. The decor felt tasteful. The room had space and was comfortable.

Check-in did not feel cute. I did not think much of the service. The staff was not very friendly. I found the decor in the rooms needed updating.

cooking smell flat beer

The grounds looked well kept, so I managed to take a walk.

The extractor fan outside my window meant my room smelled like food constantly, not pleasant. I also asked for nuts with my drink, but they never came. The beer I ordered tasted flat, annoying!!!
