Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious rooms, but I encountered issues with the windows and heating. The service was polite and helpful, meeting our expectations. The location is great for enjoying the facilities and surroundings, although there were some challenges in the ladies' lockers. The dining experience was of good quality, but there were issues with room service availability. The facilities are satisfactory overall.
For me, the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were nice with a lovely bath tub, but I expected a bit more luxury. Service catered to my wife and daughters' dietary needs with great professionalism, yet some staff members were not very polite. The location was convenient for golf but required transport to the city center. The dining experience was okay, but there were some letdowns. Overall, a mixed experience.
I had a great experience at the hotel overall. The rooms were fantastic, clean, and comfy, despite a minor window and heating issue. The service was very helpful, although a bit rapid at times. The location was lovely with beautiful views, but some local amenities were a bit far. The dining options were tasty but could have been warmer. The hotel facilities were satisfactory.
