Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The location was charming, and the staff was helpful and friendly. However, the noise from the bar area in the evenings was a bit bothersome. The rooms were outdated and lacked WiFi, but surprisingly, the dining experience was delightful with seriously yummy dishes.
The hotel had nice decorations in the rooms, but it was too bright to sleep comfortably. The bed, however, was not very comfortable. The service was friendly and helpful, and they were accommodating with our late check-in. The location offers spectacular views and cleanliness needs improvement. The dining experience was not what I expected, with a limited selection. The hotel needs some refurbishment.
