My stay at this hotel was quite a mix. On the bright side, the friendly staff made my experience enjoyable, and the rooms, although a bit dated, were comfortable enough for a good night's sleep. The location, however, felt a bit remote, making it hard to find nearby activities. The dining options were adequate, but nothing to rave about. Overall, it offers decent value for money, but it could definitely use some updates.

The hotel has a beautiful setting with friendly staff who go above and beyond to help, making for a pleasant stay. However, the rooms, though clean, are quite old and can be a bit noisy, which is not ideal. The dining experience left much to be desired as the food quality was lacking and the menu options were quite limited. Overall, for the price I paid, I expected a bit more in terms of room quality and dining.

The location was quite remote, which might not be appealing to everyone, but it did add to the hotel's charm. The dining was very basic, which could use some improvement, but overall, I found the experience to be good value for money.
