This hotel obviously used to be something pretty special, the grounds are lovely and the architecture is enticing. There are lovely fountains and a beautiful pool area. Sadly, the entire thing feels worrn, crumbling, dusty and musty, and as though it saw its highpoint twenty or thirty years ago.. I wouldn't stay here again, but maybe visit it as you would a museum. As a side note, the staff were far from welcoming and their "suites" are nothing more than a written overpriced small room with a balcony.
