Great On-Site Food

I had a fantastic dining experience at the hotel's restaurant. The food was not only good but also offered a variety of healthy options to accommodate different dietary needs. It was a great convenience being able to have nice meals without venturing out after a long day.

I had a disappointing experience at this hotel, which really doesn't live up to its 'resort and spa' title. The rooms were outdated and poorly maintained, and I had issues with both the service and facility cleanliness. While the location could have been nice, it was overshadowed by the unkempt surroundings and lack of proper amenities. Considering the price, I expected much more.
