The hotel offered a fantastic experience with beautifully decorated rooms and very friendly staff. The location was perfect for those looking to escape the city's hustle and bustle, surrounded by extensive grounds and close to a historic district. However, the dining options leaned heavily towards Chinese cuisine, which might not suit everyone's taste. Overall, it was a good value for money, but I expected a bit more variety in the dining experience.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is excellent, nestled in a beautiful area with lovely gardens and close to the old town. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, which made my stay more enjoyable. However, the rooms could use some maintenance, and I wasn't thrilled with the breakfast options available. Overall, it's good value for money, but there's room for improvement in a few areas.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is beautiful, set in a historic mansion with lovely gardens. However, the rooms felt a bit old and musty, and the service, while friendly, had some hiccups. The dining options were decent, but nothing spectacular.
