My stay was quite mixed. While the hotel has beautiful grounds and some nice amenities, I was disappointed by the dining experience, especially after my wife fell ill from the food. The construction noise was also a major downside, making it hard to relax. Overall, it's a decent option if you don't mind the noise and keep your expectations in check regarding dining.
