Guests say
Guests praised the hotel for its stunning location and beautiful gardens, along with an excellent breakfast buffet. The service received high marks, with many guests noting the helpfulness of the staff. Cleanliness was also commended, and the amenities like the pool and spa were highlights for several guests. However, there were complaints about late-night noise from the bar area disrupting sleep, issues with bathroom lighting, and slow service in the restaurant, leaving some guests feeling that improvements are needed for better value for money.AI-Generated from customer reviews

Pros (+) Lobby entrance and Bar. Gardens are lovely and one can stroll into town by way of the University park right across the hotel entrance.
Pros (+) Location and grounds are spectacular, as is the breakfast buffet.
Cons (-) Late night noise issues from bar and terrace area kept us awake and even awakened us from a sound sleep one evening. Required repeated calls to front desk to resolve. Bathroom lights also miswired and require turning on room lights which is problematic when companion is sleeping. Overall, it's a very nice hotel with very major flaws.
