Chateau Hotel and Conference Center

10/10 Excellent

"A delightful old hotel, being maintained continuously, as is necessary for older buildings. I stayed 8 days and witnessed parties over the weekend and some meetings during the day. I read a few comments about staff unfriendliness. Some housekeeping and maintenance staff are likely English second language? All were very welcoming to me. Very dog friendly. Delightful stay!"
