admirable stay
warm greetingcharming decorquality productsmall car park
The receptionist greeted me warmly and explained everything including parking. The hotel was like a grand hotel reminiscent of london. the decor was charming. i enjoyed the tasty afternoon tea. it rivaled those i experienced in top london hotels. Service was attentive, yet not stuffy. the breakfast also featured quality products.
I found the car park quite small, and i got the last space. it would be a bit stressful if it were full. Steps lead to reception, and you must go through the outdoor restaurant. that seems a bit odd. i didn't expect this layout for a hotel in this category

I found the suite beautiful. The furnishings looked great. the bed was comfortable and i slept soundly. the bathroom provided ample space (it was well appointed). the hotel impressed me with its overall appearance of luxury. the staff seemed cute and eager to help. Their positive attitude.
The car park had limited small spaces, requiring some negotiation to find a spot, especially given the traffic system. upon arriving by car, we had to inquire about directions to the car park. This was not an auspicious start.
