Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the rooms offered a great view over the nearby countryside, there were some drawbacks such as the lack of storage space for clothes, a separate sink from the toilet, and disturbance from restaurant music. I felt that for the price paid, the room could have been better.
