The hotel offers a mix of pros and cons. While the rooms have a basic yet comfortable appeal with a lovely large bathroom and some maintenance issues, the location provides a peaceful setting with beautiful views. The dining experience may come with great spreads but at a higher cost. Friendly service but not flawless.
