This hotel stands out for its exceptional dog-friendly atmosphere and beautiful spa facilities, making it a great choice for pet owners and those looking to unwind. While the staff provided friendly and efficient service, the dining experience was inconsistent, with some meals failing to meet expectations. The room was clean but felt a bit cramped with all the furniture, which may not be ideal for longer stays.
