Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers nice-sized rooms that are serviced; however, the control was difficult to adjust, making the room uncomfortably hot. The service lacks attention to detail, with examples such as staff offering makeshift solutions instead of acknowledging delays. The location, while having great scenery and fun activities, lacks overall appeal, especially when considering the value without discounts. Dining experiences vary in quality, ranging from a regular buffet to satisfactory meals.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were nice and spacious but quite warm with no temperature control. The service was lacking, especially due to poor communication, and the location had its charms but lacked luster. The dining experience was overpriced and disappointing, and the facilities were average.
My weekend stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were too warm, forcing me to open a window in the middle of winter. However, the staff were friendly and offered to address the issue promptly. The location was pleasant, but the lack of updates could be disappointing without a discount. The dining options were overpriced and led me to seek breakfast elsewhere.
