The hotel is situated in a stunning location, offering a beautiful view from the rooms. The staff went out of their way to accommodate my needs, making for a friendly atmosphere. However, the dining experience could be better, as the breakfast options fell a bit short. Overall, it's a decent place for a getaway, but keep in mind it may not be the best for food variety.
