10/10 Excellent
"The grounds were about the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. The rooms were clean, neat, and of a good size. Considering how old the hotel is it’s well kept, probably it has been updated many times, but the rooms still have a somewhat dated feel. Nevertheless a wonderful stay awaits you."
