So much potential, let down by lack of maintenance
Some guests commented that the hotel is looking a little unloved in places and that it would benefit from a renovation or touch up to maintain the historic detailing that makes the hotel so special.
negative:
Thin walls make privacy difficult
Although guests enjoyed the novelty of staying in original cabins, some complained that they could hear conversations from the rooms next-door. Some visitors felt that the thin walls need upgrading to improve privacy and comfort.
negative:
Beware the additional charges
Some guests reported that the 5-star atmosphere was tainted by the irritating additional charges for things like parking, Wi-Fi and some of the tours. It was felt by some guests that the Facilities Fee should be worked into the overall price.
