The only thing that I didn't like is the breakfast- not enough food was made for the amount of people in the hotel causing several people to wait- then only a small amount of food was brought out. There was also not enough seating in the dining area.

Great service and newly appointed rooms. Breakfast starts up a bit later, although continental ready at 6 a.m, hot foods out at 7 a.m. They have an area called the library that is a good space to sit outside of our room. Even turned on the fireplace at night. Would be even better if they upped the furniture game with more sofa style seating but it’s also used for the breakfast area. Pub and restaurant were disappointing (likely owned by a 3rd party). Was looking for something more intimate english pub fee.
