Such a beautiful hotel with a perfect location. Check in was quick and easy. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Room was spacious .Reasons for not giving a 5 star review - the fee for wifi was $15.95 /day; no availability for late night room service despite it being offered (were told they were out of every item on the menu) Overall we would recommend and will be back !
