Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was lovely, offering a great view from some of the rooms and a cozy atmosphere. The service was top-notch, with a welcoming staff making me feel right at home. The location is ideal, providing easy access to nearby attractions. The dining experience was delightful, although a bit expensive. Overall, it was a wonderful stay with some minor drawbacks.
The hotel had a lovely setting surrounded by beautiful gardens. The room, although clean, was under the eaves with only two tiny windows, making it a bit dark. The price we paid for the room did not match the value received. The dining experience was top-notch, offering a first-class meal every day, although not the usual fare we are used to.
The hotel has an amazing view and a lovely bathroom, but the room was smaller than expected and had issues with Wi-Fi coverage. The location is superb for accessing tourist attractions by car, and the dining experience was nice with a good selection. However, there were some concerns with the Wi-Fi service and room size.
The hotel offers warm and clean rooms with a good view, but they are slightly cramped with tiny bedside tables. The service is attentive, but could offer more in-room amenities for the price. Its great location is ideal for exploring the area, although the Wi-Fi service could be improved. The dining experience is pleasant, with a variety of delicious dishes, including some vegan options. The facilities are adequate, but could use enhancements for a more satisfying stay.
