My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although decent in size, were smaller than expected. On the bright side, the bath facing the fireplace and cozy bed created a pleasant atmosphere. The service was friendly and very helpful, although not the most welcoming. The location, overlooking the water, was peaceful and perfect for a quiet getaway. The dining was okay, with a limited menu, and the facilities met basic needs.
