The hotel offers delightful and beautifully decorated rooms with a good selection of delicious mini sweet treats for tea and coffee. The rooms were warm and comfortable but had a slight issue with cigarette smoke odor and non-working air conditioning. The service provided by the expert and incredibly helpful staff was top-notch, from the Joint General Manager to the receptionists, making the stay welcoming and convenient. The location, though beautiful and well-maintained, could be expanded to provide a more comprehensive experience. The dining experience was very pleasant with plenty of options in a magnificently furnished restaurant. Overall, the hotel offers a luxurious stay with minor room and location improvements needed.
