Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had some drawbacks regarding the rooms, as they were in need of maintenance and cleaning. On the other hand, the location was beautiful and ideal for outdoor activities. The service was a mix of efficiency and lack of warmth. The dining experience was generally mediocre. Overall, a mixed experience with some positive aspects.
The hotel room was spacious, clean, and very quiet, filled with natural light and green lush views, ideal for escaping the hustle and bustle. However, the room showed signs of being tired and old-fashioned with worn-out paintwork and windows. The new guests receive prompt servicing, but the room temperature was uncomfortably hot.
