I had a delightful stay at the hotel, where the staff went above and beyond to make my experience enjoyable. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the breakfasts, which were among the best I've ever had. The rooms were cozy and comfortable, making it easy to relax. However, it would be great if the bathroom situation was more private, as some rooms shared facilities. Overall, I found it to be a great value for the quality provided.
