The service was friendly and accessible, yet there were some disruptions during the night. The location was convenient and beautiful, with easy access to nearby attractions. The dining experience had its limitations, but the homemade cakes were delicious. Overall, it was a decent stay with room for improvement.

The hotel offered exactly what we were looking for on our weekend getaway - clean and comfortable rooms, although not centrally located near shopping or restaurants. We did have a minor issue with a masked person briefly visiting without entering the room for a check.
