Reviews and Ratings
The hotel provided a comfortable stay with good rooms, although better pillows and sheets wouldn't hurt. The service was outstanding, with quick, helpful, and friendly staff. The location was well-maintained and inviting, offering various activities for guests, though some areas needed better maintenance. The dining experience was pleasant, especially with the homemade jams. Overall, a decent value for money option with a few areas for improvement.
The hotel rooms badly need updating and were noisy, but the lobby and view were nice. I'd suggest fixing the plumbing issues or lowering the rates. The hotel should consider renovations or offer a deep discount during stays.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the location was not ideal with some issues. The dining was fine but overpriced. The service was fantastic, and the facilities were decent.
