The hotel has some aspects to improve, like the slightly run-down look of the rooms and the industrial cleaner smell, but it still offers a comfortable stay. The presence of insect spray in every room is a thoughtful addition. I am looking forward to returning for my wedding anniversary.

The hotel was beautifully presented and comfortable, with accommodating staff. A great spot to enjoy the setting sun with a drink. However, the clouded glass window visible from the hallway could be off-putting.

Stepping into the garden room felt like a luxurious journey to the past with wonderful views of the surrounding area. The cleanliness and spaciousness were exceptional, but some modernization could enhance the overall experience. The service was a mix of excellent professionalism and occasional unprofessional remarks, with a standout new employee from Vietnam who was incredibly helpful and charming. The location offered incredible amenities like tennis and easy access to nearby wineries, although the decor could use a bit of updating. The dining experience, particularly the traditional shabu-shabu, was excellent, with room for improvement on the pricing. Overall, a beautiful hotel with fantastic vistas and courteous staff.

I was upgraded to the Premier Suite, which was a lovely surprise. The grandeur of the hotel from the exterior to the interior was impressive, though there were some minor maintenance issues in the room. The main restaurant hosted a lively party during my stay, adding to the vibrant atmosphere.

The hotel is nestled in the heart of wine country, surrounded by picturesque vineyards. The pool area has seen improvements, but the abundance of furniture seemed out of place in the historical setting.

Stepping into the hotel felt like a journey back in time to a luxurious past, but the room had some issues like noise from upstairs. The service was fabulous, with just a couple of unprofessional remarks. The location, though lovely, could use some modernizing. Dining with a garden view was a delight, and the food was excellent.

Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The Premier Suite was gorgeous, but the room had a stale odor. The staff was friendly but overly nice at times. The location in the heart of wine tasting vineyards was picturesque, though one needs a dedicated driver due to strict drink driving limits. The dining was delightful with a view of the gardens, yet pricing was a part of the room rate.
