"Overrated"

7.0

Location good, but we have travelled all over the world and feel like this hotel was not up to our expectations considering the cost

The shower over the bath was ridiculously very dangerous

"We would probably come back"

10.0

Nice high ceilings and traditional style, well appointed and nice little comforts and shortbread in the bedrooms. Lots of yummy warm towels. Staff courteous and helpful.

Our mattress was a bit hard and not comfortable. A walk-in shower would be much safer and more acceptable.
