I had a lovely time at the hotel, with incredibly attentive staff who made personalized recommendations that truly made my stay memorable. The rooms were spacious and thoughtfully designed, which added to my relaxation. I thoroughly enjoyed the delicious dining options available, though sometimes the service took a bit longer than expected. The location was perfect, making it easy for me to explore nearby attractions. Overall, this hotel provided great amenities, but there's room for improvement in dining service speed.
