My stay at the hotel was delightful, with lovely Victorian furnishings that really added to the charm. The attentive staff made me feel valued, and the vibrant atmosphere at the bar created a lively evening. However, the dining experience could use some improvement, as the options were somewhat limited, and I felt the value could have been better for the price. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, but there's room for enhancement in the dining section.
