Tranquil Escape

The staff greeted me with warmth. Lilly offered details regarding hotel amenities. My upgraded room included a good chocolate treat, it was such a nice detail. I appreciated the comfort and the tasteful décor. The useful amenities proved beneficial.

The pool's accessibility became difficult because external groups were using it. I couldn't use the hydrotherapy jets, and that limited the relaxation. The hotel should publish specific hours for external pool usage, this would help guests plan better.
