I had a wonderful experience at the hotel, enjoying the immaculate cleanliness and lively atmosphere. The location was superb, with captivating history depicted on the walls, reflecting the Boyd family’s rich legacy. The dining options were delightful; both breakfast and dinner featured generous portions and delectable flavors, particularly the dish that resembled hollandaise sauce.
