Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and offered great views. The staff was friendly and the room service meal was top-notch. However, a bit of a revamp wouldn't hurt, and being in an annexe was unexpected.
The hotel had a bad smell in the rooms which was a downside. However, being given the 'Platinum Suite' made up for it despite the not-so-clean condition. The location was a lovely quiet area away from the city and with scenic places nearby, but turning the stiff taps was inconvenient.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room, though spacious, was worn out and uncomfortable. On the bright side, the service was personalized and top-notch. The location was convenient for our event, but a bit lacking in cleanliness. Dining options were hit and miss, with limited choices for vegetarians.
