Adequate but overpriced. Didn’t overly find the staff that welcoming.
Pros:

Beautiful surroundings. Hotel was smart.

Cons:

The room was too hot even with a fan. For the money, I thought the room could’ve been better quite basic and the bed was on the small side. Thought the breakfast was just about average.
