The room had a great big bed. The mattress felt comfortable with fluffy pillows. I did sleep well. The en suite bathroom was clean and roomy also.
The hotel is very tired and could use a bit of maintenance. It isn't quite a four-star experience right now.

I found the grounds enchanting. So much green space to explore. the staff were also very attentive, especially at reception and during breakfast.
the decor in my room felt a little dated, though everything was clean. the shower pressure was quite low, which i found disappointing after a long day.
