Quiet and Secure Stay

quiet environmentsecure environmentexcellent parkingfriendly staff
The hotel featured a nicely appointed grand house at the end of a long driveway. I appreciated the quiet and secure environment it provided. On-site parking next to the main entrance made motorcycle parking excellent. Staff members were cute and friendly, and they promptly addressed all my inquiries.
The advertised Wi-Fi signal was reasonably strong only in the reception area. I couldn't rely on it in my room

unreliable wi-fistandard pub fare
The advertised wi-fi access proved unreliable. It barely functioned in the bedrooms. signal strength improved slightly near reception, but remained weak. food service failed to meet expectations. the website presented an à la carte menu suggesting fine dining, but the actual offerings resembled standard pub fare. the dishes available bore little resemblance to what i saw advertised. the lack of nearby alternatives forced us to keep our dinner reservation.
