I had high hopes for this hotel, especially given its charming facade and promise of a luxurious stay, but it sadly didn't live up to my expectations. The food was a standout, but the service left much to be desired, and the rooms were not as modern or comfortable as I had anticipated. The picturesque surroundings certainly added some beauty to the experience, but the overall execution in hospitality and accommodations fell flat for me.

The room was comfortable and offered good value for the price paid, although there were some inconsistencies in service during busy times that could use improvement.
