My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, while clean and rather big, had a noticeable musty smell, likely due to the property's age. The service was mostly wonderful, though there seemed to be a small hiccup with special dietary requests. The location was fantastic, overlooking the river and mountains, and offering easy access to many attractions. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some meals being really nice and others a letdown. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
