The jet tub was excellent to relax in, staff were very friendly and the view by the lake was so peaceful
The room was very clean. The patio looked out at the bay. The bed was very comfortable. The restaurant was very good. The staff was very friendly. Only about 18 mins from the airport.
Clean rooms, very comfortable bed, one of the best omelets I had in the restaurant. I would suggest that they have cream/sugar in the room for the coffee machine.

Beautiful location and the staff were great. The hotel itself, however, could really use a major update. If you’re feeling nostalgic for the 1980s, you may love the décor. Overall, the location and service were definite highlights, but the property feels quite dated.

The staff was great and the location and price were good. Looks great from the outside but the whole property is in need of a refresh.
Extremely helpful staff (especially Lynn at the front desk). The property was good, and we dont have any complaints for our room; the restaurant and it's staff were very good as well. Overall the place does need some maintenance and would do well to invest in modernizing the premises.
This property was beautiful and the lake was right behind it. I would return to this property.

The room was clean and big. The staff was very nice. One guy was outside on his phone all the time. They need to clean up around the grounds. The pool should be heated so cold. Saw they filled the pool with a garden hose. Would be nice if they had a hot tub.
Clean, very nicely designed with a great historic charm. Staff were so nice. Pub and the food was so neat and yummy.

The property has a perfect old world charm and is a short drive from the airport. The bed was very comfortable and my view from the balcony was lovely. Overall I really liked my stay, but I do feel it is somewhat overpriced.
Coffee and breakfast was really expensive, but delicious. The drip coffee was very weak.
The wifi in the room was nearly non-existent and dropped calls. , and the shower had very little pressure as one would expect from such an old building. A little more care can be taken to keep the shower curtains clean. I did have slightly better signal down at the restaurant.
