My stay was quite mixed. The hotel has some charming aspects, but it’s clear that it needs updates and maintenance. The room had several issues, including outdated facilities, but it was cozy enough. Unfortunately, the service was a bit lacking, and I had some inconveniences with the heating and cleanliness. If you’re looking for luxury, this isn't the place for you, but it could serve as a budget option if you overlook some imperfections.

The hotel has some nice features, like a charming character and a few useful amenities. However, my overall experience was marred by several maintenance issues, including a non-functional air conditioner and dated decor. The cleanliness standards were also lacking, which was disappointing. I wouldn't recommend it for a resort experience, as it feels rather outdated and not well-maintained.

The hotel feels quite outdated, and there were several issues during my stay, including a malfunctioning air conditioner and cleanliness problems in the bathroom. The room itself lacked warmth and comfort due to these issues, and the staff was not available on site at arrival, which made check-in a hassle. On the bright side, the receptionist was responsive when I called to report my concerns, but overall, the experience didn't meet my expectations for a resort.
