My stay at the hotel was largely enjoyable, with exceptional cleanliness and spacious accommodations that made for a pleasant escape.

I was really looking forward to my stay, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to expectations. The location was decent but required quite a bit of travel into the city. The service was lacking, and the dining experience was pretty disappointing. On the positive side, the view from our apartment was stunning, and I appreciated having a separate space for the family.

My partner and I had a wonderful birthday getaway at this hotel. The full spa access, the large room, and the incredible three-course meal exceeded our expectations. However, the spa area felt a bit small, and we encountered a broken plunge pool, which was disappointing. Overall, it was a memorable experience, and I would love to return for another special occasion.

My stay was quite disappointing overall, as I was expecting a luxurious experience but found the reality to be quite different. While the location was decent and the room was spacious, the maintenance was lacking, and the service, particularly for room service, left a lot to be desired. The common areas of the hotel didn't match the expectations set from the website, with a somewhat uninviting reception. Overall, I wouldn't classify it as a high star hotel.
