I had a relaxing stay at this spa hotel, where everything felt clean and modern, and the staff were wonderful. The location was very convenient, making it easy to explore the area. However, the dining options for breakfast left something to be desired, and the service in that area wasn't the best. Overall, the amenities added to the experience, but there were a few things that could be improved.

This hotel offers a comfortable stay with clean amenities and a peaceful atmosphere. I was pleased with the spacious rooms and the relaxing spa facilities. However, the dining options weren't as diverse as I had hoped, and the air conditioning could use some updating. Overall, it's a solid choice if you're looking for a relaxing retreat at a fair price.
