The hotel offers spacious rooms with nice bathrooms and comfortable beds in a beautiful and quiet setting. However, the night noise levels could be a bit loud at times. The service is commendable, especially with helpful staff like Nicolas, though some communication improvements could benefit guests. The location is convenient to the freeway and seems to undergo rejuvenation, despite some sketchy aspects, making it ideal for quick stops. The dining experience provides a good selection of fresh and delicious options with a beautiful water view. Overall, a popular hotel that can get fully booked quickly with a mix of positive and negative aspects to consider.
