"I've never seen a hotel where you went up to your floor with all your luggage, then come to steps and having to carry your luggage down 111 steps to get to your room. Very unusual I must say. Hotel was dated but room was clean, restaurant was very good, grounds were spotless and people were very friendly and helpful. Enjoyed out two nights there."
