The hotel has a lovely atmosphere and great opportunities for relaxation, especially at the pool and spa facilities. The staff were friendly, which really added to the experience. However, the dining experience left something to be desired, as breakfast was disorganized, and the rooms could use more attention to detail.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the grounds were absolutely beautiful and the staff were quite accommodating, the rooms left much to be desired with dated decor and lingering odors. The breakfast service was frustratingly slow, which dampened the overall experience, but the restaurant food was quite good when we finally got it. Overall, it seems like this hotel has potential but really needs some updates and better management to elevate the stay.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the breakfast was delightful with a wide selection, and the spa area was quite enjoyable despite some maintenance issues. On the other hand, I found the service to be inconsistent and the rooms definitely showed their age. It felt like there was potential for improvement, but it wasn't quite realized during my stay.
