We had a mixed experience at the hotel. The initial service from the front desk staff was disappointing, with a less than welcoming attitude that overshadowed the feel of the place. However, the dining options and the cleanliness of the hotel were highlights. The food really stood out, especially during breakfast and dinner. With the excellent room quality and atmosphere in the restaurants, it's clear there's great potential here, even though we faced some service hiccups.
