mediocre stay. with Some issues

limited selectionmusty smell
The breakfast was very basic. I found that disappointing. the selection was limited, and it lacked variety. the room's temperature was difficult to control. it was either too hot or too cold. I could not find a comfortable setting. we also noticed a musty smell in the bathroom. THIS was unpleasant and detracted from the overall experience.

lackluster new year stay

working spa bathsagging mattressuncomfortable bed
the spa bath worked fine and that was acceptable.
The bed was terrible. I felt every spring since the mattress sagged so badly in the middle, even with underlays. It needs replacing before someone gets hurt.

a good stay amidst nature

generous roomtasty arraypeaceful locationdelayed shutoff
I was very pleased with the room size. It felt generous. the breakfast selection suited me, a simple yet tasty array. i liked that the hotel was slightly removed from the town center, ensuring peace!
the bathroom fan remained active for about ten minutes after i switched off the light. this caused slight disturbance. there needs to be a quicker shutoff.

friendly receptionistgreat pressurelimited time
the room was a luxury king suite and felt super clean. water pressure in the overhead shower was great. the hotel's location is a short drive from town in a quiet area, which i liked. i really appreciated the tips given by the friendly receptionist about local restaurants.
the hotel reception is only open for a limited time each day. check-in was not available until after 3 pm. this made it slightly inconvenient to plan my arrival, especially after a long journey.
