mixed Feelings about this hotel

poor service awful breakfast
the location surrounded by landscapes was acceptable.
Standards have declined. i had to seek out staff to order drinks in the bar, instead of them being attentive. breakfast service was awful. Plates sat on the table, and no one explained that food could be ordered until 40 minutes after i arrived. my card was charged before checkout, resulting in charges for items i did not have. I had to wait days for a refund.
