"The room was clean at arrival but not thoroughly cleaned. Nor was it cleaned every day. We had to ask for facecloths and refrigerators, which should be a common amenity. The refrigerator did nothing for the food stored in it. The frig maybe kept food a bit above room temperature. My stored strawberries began to mold within four days. Asked to reheat a food item because the rooms did not have microwave ovens, and the staff declined. There was a kitchen at this hotel yet refused to heat a dish bought elsewhere. Don't expect staff to go out of their way to provide the expected service common to US hotels---it's not happening. The purchased breakfast food was less than room temperature at 0630 when the eating area opened. I don't know how that is possible. With the heated lamps are surface, if you did not place the food on your plate immediately after the cook placed it on display for consumption, the food got cold. Pancakes cold, waffles cold, eggs, cold, etc. No cream (only milk) for coffee. The cream is in the packets they place in your room with the freeze-dried coffee packet. The cookies they place in the rooms daily was a nice touch. Fee for parking is required adding to the cost of the stay. No street parking nearby. Lastly, my associate purchase dinner (a steak). It was laughable. The steak was thin, larger than the size of a credit card, yet shorter than the length of a standard cell phone. A nearby Wendy's would have done the instead. Enjoy!"
"All staff we met were friendly and helpful, including spa staff.
Room clean and spacious, not modern but traditional as would expect in older part of building. Shower hot, bathroom huge!
Mattress not the best though.
Think room would be cold in Winter due to period windows, single glazed and not air tight.
Breakfast also traditional, nice to have tea and coffee served at table, fresh bread , hot food good, cereals limited and basic."
