We really enjoyed staying here, and the breakfast was truly amazing. Everything was easy and efficient. My only caveat is that the rooms / views really do not live up to the photos, as the place is a bit dated - not really elegant as the pics seem. Also, the pricing on line is crazy - varies wildly from $115 a night to $800 a night, with terms like VIP and special class used randomly. But, all in all a great place to stay.
