I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location is stunning and surrounded by beautiful parkland, and the rooms were quite nice, the service left much to be desired. I found the dining options also lacking in variety, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it’s a decent place, but there are areas that definitely need improvement.
