My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were beautiful and incredibly comfortable, decorated with Victorian period paintings, but there were cleanliness issues that really detracted from the experience. While I enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and the management's friendly approach, I found the service a bit lacking due to some miscommunication. Overall, it's a charming spot, though the cleaning standards could use some serious improvement.

My stay was absolutely delightful! Nestled in the heart of nature, the hotel offered a peaceful and serene atmosphere, perfect for a getaway. The rooms, steeped in history, were both spacious and comfortable, although I did notice some dust on the table, which is understandable given the forest setting. The staff were incredibly attentive and made sure my experience was memorable. Moreover, the complimentary transportation to Mall Road was a fantastic perk! However, a little more choice in breakfast would have been nice.
