Grace

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The photographs included in this properties listing suggest that there are loads of food and other facilities in the venue when in fact they’re in neighbouring properties owned by the same hotel group a few streets away While I appreciate that this is classed as a ‘historical’ hotel i assumed this would mean reasonably contemporary fittings in the bathrooms and new beds etc. To be clear this is an old property with basic 90s bathroom fitouts and no dining options. Felt like an older ski lodge or something. Was booked for two nights but the bed was so soft and unsupported I woke up with a backache and checked out early the first morning. No flexibility from the staff at all for even a partial refund for the second night.
