Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers rooms with wonderful views at a good price, but they could benefit from additional lighting. While not visibly dirty, the rooms looked dated and grimy despite a supposed recent renovation. The service is the Bomb, offering convenient luggage storage and accommodating early check-ins and late check-outs. The location, although not great due to the lack of nearby attractions, is picturesque with nice lakes and gardens. Dining options were quite good and reasonably priced, except for the discrepancy in the breakfast offerings.
I found the hotel to be comfortable and clean, with spacious rooms and a helpful staff. The location wasn't ideal for exploring on foot, but it was nice and quiet. The dining options were a bit pricey, but the food was delicious. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
