"everything was good except for the in room dining. The food was way overpriced, the portions were very small, the food was almost always served room temperature, and because they don’t accept Uber eats at the property we were largely trapped to purchase that food almost every night."

"We had a wonderful stay at Triada Hotel. The location is beautiful, peaceful, and very quiet, making it a perfect place to relax and unwind. It’s definitely worth the money, and we really enjoyed our time there. The only area that could be improved is the breakfast menu, as having a little more variety would make the experience even better. Apart from that, everything was perfect.
