My stay at Charleville Lodge Hotel was a mixed experience. On one hand, the staff were friendly and accommodating, which created a warm atmosphere.

The hotel provides basic amenities, but I found some areas lacking, like loose door knobs and an uninsulated window that let in cold air upon arrival. There’s potential for a creative and unique atmosphere if they can address these minor issues.
