This was a beautiful hotel with a wonderful restaurant, clean and spacious room, and great lobby. I do wish there was a mini-fridge in the room. The staff was very prompt to bring us a fridge and microwave when we asked, but would have been great to have one in there. I also found the shampoo situation difficult. With the bottles attached to the wall, it was nearly impossible to tell when you were low/out of supply until you actually were. I was there 7 nights and ran out of shampoo and body wash. I was caught both times mid-shower when it ran out. I had to get out, call housekeeping, wait for it to come (which was prompt) and then get back in the shower to finish up. If
