Lovely Hotel Experience
nice decorquality ingredientgreat attention
Our room had a nice decor and it featured a large, well-appointed bathroom. The breakfast was simple, yet each item was made from high-quality, locally sourced ingredients.. This showed great attention to detail. The team ensured we had a table, even though our arrival time was uncertain. I appreciated that.
The tables felt a bit too close together during dinner. I could hear neighboring conversations.

the tables felt too close together. i could overhear nearby conversations, which detracted from my dining experience. also, my fish dish was bland. the lemon caper butter was undetectable, and the new potatoes were scarce. it wasn't the birthday dinner i had hoped for.
