I had such an interesting time at this hotel which had some quirky charm and unique room themes that made it memorable. However, my dining experience left a lot to be desired, especially regarding service and menu knowledge. The cake I tried was fine but nothing remarkable, and the overall feel of the hotel varied greatly from what I remembered from years ago. The grounds were fun to explore, but there's definitely room for improvement in certain aspects.
