My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were warm and comfortable with a small balcony offering a lovely wooded view, but they were unfortunately quite dirty and dusty. The service was friendly, although it seemed a bit stretched due to the size of the hotel. The location was charming and conveniently close to the attraction we wanted to visit. The dining experience was satisfactory, but some items seemed dried up. The facilities were decent, offering a comfortable stay.

The hotel had some noise at night, like generator noise, and could benefit from adding window nets for privacy while letting light in during the day. The rooms were clean and reasonably comfortable, although a bit dated. The location was good for our needs with excellent parking facilities. The dining experience was of a good standard, especially the enjoyable breakfast. Overall, a comfortable stay with friendly service and good facilities.
