My stay at this hotel was overall quite enjoyable, with clean and comfortable rooms and supportive staff making the experience memorable. However, the breakfast left much to be desired, lacking variety and quality. The location was beautiful, nestled in nature, but could be a bit challenging to navigate to restaurants nearby. Still, it provided a peaceful escape and lovely views.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While I appreciated the cleanliness and beautiful views, certain aspects like the breakfast quality and room size left much to be desired. The service was okay, but it felt a bit impersonal at times. Overall, the hotel has potential, but improvements are definitely needed in some areas.

The hotel offers a nice outdoor area by the pool and a panoramic view of the city, creating a pleasant atmosphere. However, the room I received was not as expected, being small and situated on a lower floor while lacking in amenities like a decent breakfast and quality internet. Overall, there is room for improvement in various areas, especially considering the cost of the room.
