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.

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.
