Honestly, I had high hopes for Bonnie Castle given its name, but the reality was a bit underwhelming. While the rooms were clean, they felt quite dated and lacked the luxurious touch I was expecting. The location right by the river is beautiful, especially with views of Boldt Castle, which is a definite plus. Unfortunately, my dining experience was disappointing with subpar meal quality. Overall, it's a decent option if you're just passing through and need a place to stay, but don't go in expecting something extravagant.

Rooms

The rooms were clean yet felt very dated, almost like stepping back into the '70s. The refrigerator was a nice touch, but the lack of an elevator made accessing the third-floor room a bit of a hassle.

Service

The service was friendly, though I felt the staff lacked initiative in addressing concerns, such as offering me a different room until I prompted the manager.

Location

The hotel's location by the river is quite lovely, offering access to picnic areas and stunning views of the Boldt Castle. It's peaceful during the off-season, which is a nice escape from the usual tourist hustle.

Dining

I was really let down by the breakfast experience. The meal was lackluster, featuring cold sausages and basic options that didn’t justify the price. I expected better for what I paid.

Facilities

6.0

While the facilities are acceptable, nothing really stands out. The outdoor areas by the river are nice for relaxation, but overall, they felt basic.

My stay at the hotel was quite enjoyable overall. The views of Boldt Castle from my room were breathtaking and truly made the trip memorable. The room itself was clean, although it did feel a bit dated in some aspects. The staff were friendly and accommodating, but I did have some concerns about the dining options, which were quite limited and could use improvement. Overall, I would say it’s a decent place if you’re looking for a beautiful view and comfortable accommodations.

I recently stayed at this resort and had a mixed experience. The rooms offered a nice view and were clean, which I appreciated. However, I faced some accessibility issues and the dining options were quite underwhelming. The service was decent but could use improvement, and the location was a bright spot since it was accessible to various attractions. Overall, while it had some pros, a few aspects need attention.
