I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were a little small and lacked a bath, with some dust and cobwebs present, which was disappointing given the price. The service, on the other hand, was exceptional, with friendly and attentive staff. The location was beautiful but slightly noisy in the morning. The dining experience had its highs and lows, with some dishes being overly salty. Overall, it was an average stay with room for improvement.
