The hotel had a bit of a moldy smell, but it was nice overall with a distinct musty odor. The service was excellent with very friendly staff and beautiful grounds. The location was perfect for getting into town easily. The dining experience was okay, with some sugary options. I didn't notice any comments on the facilities.

The hotel felt more like an elegant B&B room than a motel room. Despite being rather expensive, the room wasn't ready upon arrival, and there were issues with dust, stained carpet, torn curtains, and ants. On the bright side, the service was incredibly friendly and informative, although the condition of the room was disappointing.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The beautiful rooms offered a fantastic view with a nice patio, but there was a noticeable musty smell like old furniture and ants managed to find their way into my bags. The room layout was a bit odd with a sofa bed and a bed, and the plumbing was acting strangely.

The dining experience left something to be desired. The variety was lacking, mainly offering cereal and bread. Although the food was decent, it would have been nicer to have hotter plates with more options like scrambled eggs, sausages, and potatoes.
