Pros:

The breakfast was just ok. Buffet style. Would have expected more cooked to order dishes on the menu. Toast offered was just sliced pan instead of a nice sourdough.

Cons:

We booked a superior room. It had a view over the carpark, no fridge or robes, which I would have expected at that price. I thought it was a historical building but everything looked like new build to me. The garden was not really part of the hotel, you had to walk to it. I thought we'd be having drinks on a terrace overlooking the gardens. The food for dinner was nice but the tables didn't have tablecloths.
