I had mixed feelings about my stay at the hotel. While the staff was incredibly welcoming and accommodating, which made a real difference, I found the overall condition of the hotel quite disappointing. The rooms felt tired and in need of a refresh, and the cleanliness in some areas left a lot to be desired. On a positive note, the dining options were excellent and enjoyable, contributing positively to my experience, though the spa facilities were not as accessible as I had hoped.

I found my stay at the hotel to be quite pleasant overall. The facilities were nice, but the dining experience had its ups and downs. The room I stayed in was comfortable, although a bit on the small side. The staff truly made the difference, as they were exceptionally helpful and friendly, but there were some hiccups that prevented it from being perfect.
