Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a stunning view from the rooms, with clear sights of the river, a little waterfall, and the beautiful grounds on the east side of the property. However, there was a slight musty smell in the room. The staff went above and beyond to assist us, but the service felt a bit slow and lacks enthusiasm. The location is absolutely beautiful, offering plenty of spaces to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The dining experience was a mix, with some tasty options but also some disappointing dishes. The facilities were well-kept and enjoyable.
I stayed at the hotel for a few nights and had a mixed experience. The rooms were simple and basic, overlooking the waterfall, which was nice, but being right above the bar and near the freeway made it quite noisy. The service was good, with staff going out of their way to assist, although it was evident they had no control over the noisy premises. The location was beautiful, offering breathtaking views across the river, but it was a bit hard on the old bones. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some good ideas but also some letdowns in terms of taste. The overall value for the price paid was decent.
The hotel rooms had a charming design, with high ceilings and a walk-in closet, but unfortunately, they were quite noisy at night. The service was outstanding, with a dedicated and competent staff. The location offered stunning views but was a bit isolated from town. The dining experience fell short of expectations, despite the beautiful setting overlooking the river.
