The entryway is beautiful and unique. The staff at check in and check out were amazing . Our room was pretty large with a pull out couch. The room was clean.The pool and spa were closed for most of our stay but was cleaned and fixed pretty quickly. The elevator shutters it is a little unnerving. The breakfast was a little lean but good.

Stay was GREAT. Due to booking for less pay, seem I didn't get the room I paid for. Photos can be deceiving. FYI. safety bars / handles needed on the inside of baths. My room had bars on the outside etc... Would help w/slip and fall.
