I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but noise was an issue due to poor soundproofing. The service was friendly and efficient overall, but there were some hiccups with dining that affected the experience. The location was excellent with lovely views, but the cleanliness of some areas could be improved. I felt the overall value for money was decent, but some aspects could definitely be better.
