Dining experience is mixed
Dining reviews range from strong favorites to clear disappointments.
Several reviewers say the on-site food is delicious or highlights their stay, including praise for bar and restaurant service. Others describe meals as mediocre or disappointing, including complaints about what arrived versus expectations. Because reviews reflect both ends of the spectrum, dining seems to depend on what you order and when you visit.

Costs draw specific criticism
Multiple reviews question whether the overall cost matches what was delivered.
Some reviewers say the stay was too expensive for the condition of their room or for missing conveniences during their visit. Complaints include paying a high rate and then dealing with temperature problems, as well as feeling services did not meet expectations. Taken together, cost concerns show up alongside the operational issues more than as standalone complaints.
