I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the staff were really friendly and accommodating, the overall place felt quite worn down and in need of repairs. The dining options were also quite limited, and I ended up being charged for several small amenities that I expected would be complimentary. Given the price, I expected a bit more value for my stay.

My stay at this hotel was quite disappointing. The room had a horrible smell and was not clean at all, with hair everywhere and a stinky bed. I couldn't wait to leave and wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone. On a positive note, it was close to some local restaurants and had a unique charm as an old private home, but those positives don't outweigh the negatives.

6.0/10

During my four-night stay, I found the hotel to have a lot of potential, but there were several areas that needed attention. The room was spacious, but it did have cleanliness issues like stained bedding and torn drapes. While the staff was accommodating, the breakfast was underwhelming, served off-site with very limited options. I appreciated the location and the nature elements around, but overall, it felt like the management could improve various aspects of the hotel.
