Overall, a strategic choice, provided that travelers are not looking for modern accommodation.”

My stay at the hotel was quite disappointing. While the staff were friendly and the location was decent, the rooms were outdated and had strong odors that made it hard to enjoy my time there. The price seemed too high for the quality we experienced, and overall it felt more like a budget motel than anything resembling a spa hotel.

Our anniversary dinner plans were completely ruined after making a reservation for a restaurant that was closed without any notice. Although the hotel lobby was visually appealing and our room was comfortable, the overall experience was disappointing due to the outdated decor and some cleanliness issues. The lack of communication and help from the staff during this critical moment made the stay frustrating. While the location has potential, needing improvement in service quality and facilities is crucial.
Rooms

The room was comfortable, but the decor was quite dated, with peeling wallpaper and stained carpet. It felt a bit closed in at times as it was on a lower level without windows.
Service

The hotel is conveniently located near a walking trail along the waterfront, which I appreciated. However, there are limited choices for restaurants in the area.

Unfortunately, my dining experience was a letdown due to the restaurant being closed despite having a reservation, leading to a frustrating evening.

The pool area was off-putting, probably due to the appearance of the whirlpool that was out of order, and overall, the hotel facilities seemed dated.
