I had a delightful stay at this hotel, featuring beautifully decorated rooms and friendly service from most staff members. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming, perfect for a relaxing getaway. However, the dining experience left something to be desired, particularly with limited options and lukewarm food. Overall, it was a charming place, but with some room for improvement.

The dining options were somewhat disappointing; the cooked breakfast was lukewarm, and I didn't realize there were no vegetarian options ahead of time, which left me with a less-than-filling meal.

While the facilities were quite nice, they didn't particularly stand out as exceptional. They met my needs but didn't exceed my expectations.

My stay at the hotel was quite enjoyable overall. The rooms were beautifully furnished and cozy, perfect for the cold nights. The service was impeccable, with the staff being friendly and attentive. On the downside, there was quite a bit of noise from the restaurant below, which made it a bit hard to have conversations at our table. The location had a nice, laid-back vibe, but the restaurant capacity seemed limited, especially during wedding events.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel, especially being impressed with the spacious rooms that worked perfectly for my bridal party and photographers. The service was above and beyond, with staff accommodating every need. The location has charming elements but also some areas that could use an update. The dining experience, however, was hit or miss, as I found the breakfast options lacked variety. Overall, it was a great experience but not without its flaws.
