brian robbins answered all my queries patiently. the stay was excellent the team made my big birthday celebration nice. several family members wish to repeat it in the future they enjoyed it so much. i will recommend the hotel i will return when i can.
i noticed some reliance on small heaters in large dining rooms during the colder months which might not be sufficient for everyone particularly in downstairs areas.
