10/10 Excellent
"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — A Truly Magical Stay! I can’t say enough wonderful things about this beautiful hotel. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional—warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Every staff member went above and beyond to make our stay feel special. But what absolutely stole my heart was the Christmas décor. It was truly magical—like stepping straight into a holiday movie. Sparkling lights, stunning trees, festive details in every corner… it felt whimsical and full of joy. The atmosphere alone made our stay unforgettable. If you’re looking for a place that delivers both luxury and heartwarming holiday charm, this hotel is a dream. I will absolutely be returning and recommending it to everyone one i know thank you for a wonderful stay. everyone I know"
