The hotel provided us with a great recommendation for our day trip, and we slept well despite the construction noise at night; however, the location is not very convenient for easy access to restaurants. The staff was excellent, helping us organize our activities and showing genuine concern for my wife's disability. The dining experience was super good, offering a variety of options, but improvements could be made. The help-yourself buffet-style breakfast was always a treat, and the facilities were well-maintained.
