The hotel has a grand exterior that piques your interest, but the experience quickly diminishes once you step inside. While the staff are generally hardworking and try to keep things running smoothly, the overall state of the rooms and the dining options leave much to be desired. The location is decent, being close to the town center, but the lack of maintenance in both the rooms and facilities is disheartening.

I had a disappointing experience at this hotel, especially for a supposed 4-star establishment. While the historical charm is evident, the lack of organization and poor service overshadowed the positives. The dining options did not meet expectations, and issues with the room diminished the stay. I hope they can address these concerns to improve future visits.

The dining options were underwhelming and lacked variety. While the architecture had its charm, I left feeling that the hotel needs serious updates to justify the price I paid.
