My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were spacious and clean, and the location offered breathtaking views. However, I was disappointed by the inconsistent service I received, which detracted from the otherwise lovely experience. The dining was good but could use some improvement in efficiency.

I had a relaxing weekend at Cape Schanck, and the beautiful rooms along with the amazing dining experience truly stood out. The staff provided exceptional service which enhanced our stay. However, the dining options, while fine, felt a bit pricey and could limit frequent visits to the restaurant. The breakfast experience also had its struggles with crowds that could dampen the morning mood.
