I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel, especially after its recent refurbishment. The beds were super comfortable, and the property was clean and well-maintained. The only downsides were the lack of sound insulation in the rooms and the absence of an elevator, which made it a bit challenging with luggage. Overall, it's a great spot for a weekend getaway, but those with mobility issues should consider their options carefully.

I had a delightful stay at this resort, enjoying a lovely spacious room and a fantastic breakfast selection.

While it was mostly a fabulous experience, the dining could use a little more attention to detail.
