generous room friendly staff fresh coffee
the buffet breakfast included fresh coffee and offered eggs, bacon, sausages, fruit, and cereal. the room was generously sized with a large bed (it was perfect for a good night's sleep). the staff were friendly and helpful, which i really appreciated.
i noticed that the lunch and room service menus were somewhat limited.

The hotel provided ample parking space for all guests. I found the breakfast to be delicious, with a wide variety of options available. The gardens were beautiful and well kept. the rose bushes added to the charm.
The gym is small and a bit run-down. It could use an update.

was pretty good
sized room pristine pool great proximity
the hotel has generous sized rooms. pristine pools were available to guests. it has great proximity to views and restaurants, a convenient advantage. i found the location amazing. the hotel is a short walk to the three sisters with a variety of tracks.
i had to wait about one hour because the room was not ready at check-in time. the staff offered a glass of sparkling wine, but it was not a great first impression. i was paying a significant amount per night at this hotel.
