Good - 3.5 out of 5

Murray Mon, 1 September 2025

Would try again once new...

Liked: Breakfast was delicious. Location amazing. Property beautiful.
Disliked: Our room was dated and the furniture placement not functional ie. no table or reading light beside the chair. No reading light on one side of the bed. Room overpriced for what it was. Small details missing... for this quality and price of a hotel.
