This hotel is over priced and dated, the room had the kitchen right by toilet and bathroom w no connecting door so that the kitchen felt like it was part of the bathroom, so yuck! I felt unclean the whole time i was there, didnt want to use the kitchen for this fact! View is lovely, thats about it. I would never stay here again. Pool is not heated and no spa.

Overall, the experience was decent and the atmosphere was comfortable. However, one major downside is that the place is not pet-friendly. It would really improve the experience if they considered allowing pets, as many travellers and locals appreciate venues where they can bring their furry companions along. Additionally, while everything else was generally okay, the food menu could use some improvement. Compared to other restaurants, the variety feels quite limited. Expanding the menu with more diverse options and better choices would make a big difference and attract a wider range of customers. In summary, it’s an okay place to visit, but becoming pet-friendly and improving the food selection would significantly enhance the overall experience for travellers.
