I stayed here years ago and they made everyone feel at home. I couldn’t wait to bring my husband to experience the wonderful first time I had there. It was definitely a letdown. This time it felt very cold. If we wanted breakfast we had to pay or go somewhere. The “pastries” as they called them with the coffee did not seem fresh. They were muffins which is a bread not a pastry. The rooms definitely need decor updates. Some wallpaper was starting to peel. The old charm of the building is there, but freshen the poor old building up. It’s been 20 years since I was there and the wallpaper looks like it’s been there for 50. I love wallpaper, but give the building a little care and freshen it up.

They weren’t accommodating to checking in a bit early. Room was small and floor was slippery. There was no tv in the room. Muffins were not good. Many staff members were nice but management messed up when they send the housekeeping lovely lady in twice when we wanted the room. The pool was lovely. All in all -just ok

Everything was very nice. My only surprise was not having a TV in our room. Not a big issue. The grounds are lovely and the views, amazing. We want to book again soon.

I was there on 5/25 to 5/26 and the weather was cool, but if you went in July when it is hot the original building does not have A/C. Also no TV in the original building.

Everything was very nice. We stayed off season so the main hotel was closed. The new sections has 3 WIFI networks. Unfortunately the guest wifi would not work after 7PM. We were unable to stream, or use air play or even use 5G on our phones. After the first evening, I asked to use the one of the employee WiFis and was told they would reset the router. They did but again it would not work after 7PM.
