9/10 Wonderful! (22 reviews)
The hotel is beautiful and the rooms are clean, which is a great start. However, there is significant room for improvement in the restaurant and breakfast offerings. The quality of the food does not align with the standards expected from a this type of hotels. Additionally, enhancing the security of the room doors would be beneficial, perhaps by adding an internal lock in addition to the basic lock knob.
