Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers stunning views of the golf course and river, with friendly staff but few guests during my stay. The carpet in the passage needs attention, but the room itself was perfect.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great comfort and convenience, with spacious and cozy rooms, and excellent indoor pool facilities, perfect for a rainy weekend getaway. However, some attention to detail was lacking, as the electrical sockets were not properly checked before my arrival.
The hotel has potential but needs some updates. The rooms are somewhat disappointing compared to expectations, but the hotel is located in a fantastic area with breathtaking views. The dining experience was a mix of top quality and disappointment, and the service, while friendly, could use improvement in attentiveness.
