Reviews
Please, save yourself the trouble and Do Not stay at this place!!
This hotel is extremely photogenic. We witnessed numerous wedding photo sessions conducted there during our stay and couldn't resist inviting a professional photographer to take some photos for a good memory as well :)
When I finally managed to get someone’s attention, I was rudely told to order a beer, with no explanation of what else was available. Frustrated, our group of 15 decided to leave.
The place may look nice but the service sure is lacking!
