The hotel is a beautiful old-world resort that offers a great setting for a getaway. However, I was disappointed with the service and responsiveness during our stay, particularly for a hotel at this price point. The dining experience at Mels was fantastic, making it a highlight of our trip. While I appreciate the history and charm of the property, the lack of attentiveness from the staff was frustrating.

I had high hopes for our stay, but it ended up being quite disappointing. While the hotel still carries an air of charm and has lovely outdoor spaces, the service left a lot to be desired. The room we received was not only smaller than expected but also had an unpleasant odor. On the brighter side, the dining options were enjoyable and offered a great variety, but the overall experience felt overshadowed by the lack of attentive service.
