The rooms boast amazing views, a large comfy king bed, and cozy lounge chairs by an imitation fire, creating a welcoming atmosphere. However, the dining experience, with ingredients that seemed budget, could be improved. The service, including laundry and tours/ticket assistance, was top-notch, making the stay pleasant and hassle-free.
