This was a very nice place, felt comfortable, clean and great staff. Things that could have made this place perfect. The room was quite a trek we were put in the last room which felt like a mile hike from the lounge and front desk. I liked the privacy tho and the view out of the balcony. In the morning I would have like more than one caffeinated coffee pods, as we had mostly decaf coffee in room for the morning. We called reception and they delivered promptly. Also; one of the lamps didn’t have the piece to turn on. Overall, this place is highly recommended and we will be coming back. The staff was the most professional and respectful staff I’ve seen at an establishment like this. Thank you for creating the ambience of royalty.
