My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful. The rooms had been beautifully decorated for us, and we even received a lovely champagne delivery. Everything was very quiet, clean, and tidy, with the staff going above and beyond by bringing us flowers daily and surprising us with treats in the morning and evening. The complementary fruit and sweets were a nice touch, adding to the overall wonderful experience. However, the dining options could be improved, and some might find it a bit pricey for what is offered.
