9/10 Wonderful! (1,590 reviews)

The property was old but updated. Everything worked ( especially pleased with the jacuzzi!). The only issue was that the light over the bed was not accessible to a night stand. The light was on one side the nightstand in the middle of the two beds. Awkward. I just moved a chair to that side. The rest of the room was very accommodating.

If you're looking for scenery, this is the place for you! The views are magnificent! The hotel is clean, the staff is super-friendly and extremely helpful. Their main concern is your comfort. Nice breakfast buffet and wonderful grounds, gardens and walking paths. Splurge a little and get a suite! You won't regret it one bit!

They have a beautiful swimming pool but it’s closed. Couldn’t get a straight answer why it was off limits. It was obviously maintained very well. Beautiful gardens.
