  Liked: Location and rooms ( suites) were huge, really nice.

  Disliked: The decoration was old/ antique. Felt very spooky experience, dark colors and old paining- kinda of a haunted house experience.

  Liked: From the moment we arrived the staff were so welcoming, the hotel is beautiful and immaculate from the moment you arrive outside. The lady who we spoke to enquired what we were doing and I told her I had graduated, I was surprised later that evening with a lovely card, balloon and chocolates from the management and staff. A special day made extra special by everyone at this beautiful hotel.

  Disliked: That it had to end! I could have stayed forever!
