My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were clean and had everything we needed, though they felt a bit cramped at times. The staff provided a friendly service, despite being short-staffed, striving to maintain a higher service standard. The location, nestled in the mountains with a river nearby, was charming but seemed to still be under construction in some areas. The dining experience was satisfactory with a good variety of well-cooked meals. The facilities were decent, catering to essential needs, though with room for improvement.
