I had a decent stay at the hotel, surrounded by lush trees, which made for a lovely atmosphere. The rooms were spacious and clean, boasting charming four-poster beds, but the service left something to be desired, as the staff seemed clueless despite their eagerness to help. The location was beautiful near a lake, but it was a bit crowded with noisy tour groups, and the dining options were quite limited, especially during busy times. Overall, the place offers good value for money, but some areas definitely need improvement.
