Overall, my stay at the hotel was quite enjoyable, with exceptional food and friendly staff that went above and beyond to assist me. However, the experience was slightly marred by a few issues with the room setup and tardiness of service on some occasions. The modern renovation of the hotel was a positive touch, but the room inconveniences prevented it from being a perfect stay.

The hotel has some great features, especially for golf enthusiasts. The staff is very welcoming and attentive, and while the rooms could use some updates, they are clean and comfortable. However, the breakfast left much to be desired, lacking variety and quality. The dining experience in the restaurant was a highlight with delicious pizza on offer.

My stay at the hotel was somewhat mixed. The grounds are lovely and the bar staff were fantastic, adding a personal touch to the experience. However, the rooms were quite warm and basic, which detracted from the overall comfort. The restaurant service during breakfast was slow and could use some improvement, but I found the drinks at the bar enjoyable, albeit pricey.

My experience at this hotel was incredibly disappointing, particularly due to the spa and dining service. The reception staff was unhelpful, and the facilities were not well-kept, leaving us regretting our stay. On the brighter side, the room size was generous, and there was a decent selection of food options. However, the service quality left much to be desired.
