Beautiful hotel & comfortable bed in a clean, spacious, well - decorated room. The staff members were reserved. Carlos was super welcoming. It felt a little like being at The Hershey Hotel or the Salamander where some of the personable/boutique element is lost in the largess of everything/anonymity.
