Acceptable Grounds, Disappointing Room

beautiful locationfaulty shower doorlimited breakfast
The location was beautiful and the grounds were nicely maintained.
The room was a definite letdown. The shower door did not shut properly. The overall impression was of a space needing significant updates. I also found the breakfast selection limited compared to other hotels in a similar price range.
