Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the inn was a mix of pleasant surprises and a few disappointments. The rooms were tastefully decorated and very comfortable, offering a nice contrast to the noisier surroundings near the main roads. The service, however, had its ups and downs, with some staff being gracious and eager to please while others seemed overwhelmed and disorganized. The location was both beautiful and a bit deserted, providing a serene setting but also lacking in vibrant activity. The dining experience had its highs and lows, with some tasty treats available but overall falling short of expectations. The facilities were decent but could use some improvements to enhance the overall experience.
