I had a mixed experience at this hotel during my short stay. While the surroundings were clean with well-kept gardens and a nice swimming pool, the service left much to be desired, especially during my lunch stop. On a positive note, the food I eventually had was tasty. The rooms are decent but a bit dated, and certain amenities could use some improvements. Overall, there are great aspects, but improvements in service and maintenance would make it much better.
