My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The property has a lovely atmosphere with beautiful grounds, making it feel like a serene retreat. While the staff was friendly and attentive, I found the rooms to be less impressive, especially given the price I paid. The dining options were good, but I believe they could benefit from more variety, particularly at breakfast. Overall, while it has potential, I left feeling it didn't quite live up to the expectations set by its branding.

I had a lovely time at this hotel despite a few hiccups. The room was well-equipped and charming, though a bit dated. The service was fantastic, with a warm welcome and attentive staff throughout my stay. However, the noise in my room was distracting at night which affected my sleep. The dining experience at the Mustangs and Burros restaurant was nice, with a cozy atmosphere, but the prices were on the higher side.
