I had a fantastic stay at this hotel, where the staff truly went above and beyond to create a memorable experience. The luxurious accommodations and exquisite dining made for an exceptional getaway. However, the housekeeping could use some improvement, as I noticed some overlooked details in the room, which is not what I would expect for the price. Overall, it was a lovely retreat, but I did leave feeling like certain aspects fell short of the luxurious expectations set by the price point.
