The hotel has a beautiful view and is conveniently located near local cafes and the town center. While the staff was friendly and accommodating during our stay, the room itself was somewhat dated and in need of cleaning. The dining options could definitely be improved as the food was pretty underwhelming. Overall, it’s a decent place but not without its flaws.

I had a decent stay at this hotel with a good range of pros and cons. The rooms were clean and spacious, but I had some frustrations with the missing spa bath that was promised. The location was really convenient, making it easy to explore local restaurants. However, the service was hit or miss; while some staff were friendly, others didn’t help much when issues arose. Overall, it's a pretty good place if you're okay with some bumps along the way.
