Reviews and Ratings
The room was very nice and well presented, but being at the furthest point possible from the main areas defeats the object of an 'easy access' room. The service was exceptionally friendly and professional, offering a range of amenities like room service and pet amenities. The location was beautiful, with a calm interior, but relatively small for the size of the hotel. The dining experience was good quality, though lacking a personal touch at times. Overall, it was a pleasant stay with a few drawbacks to consider.
I had a delightful stay at the hotel. The rooms were nice and big, very quiet, and the staff was incredibly welcoming. Although the room was a bit small for the price, it was well stocked and spotlessly clean. I could imagine it being wonderfully cosy in the winter.
The hotel room was small and felt unkempt, but it had everything I needed and was extremely comfortable. The location was convenient despite some noise disturbances. The dining options were limited but still satisfying, and the staff provided excellent service.
