Okay, but not great.

Booked a two-night stay for our 5-year anniversary in one of the Estate Garden View Rooms. The room was disappointing; it was on the main floor (3rd floor) of their main building which meant it was LOUD. We could hear everything happening in the hallway at all hours of the day. And rather than looking out onto their beautiful garden courtyard, it had a view of the housing complex behind the hotel out the backside of the property. Not exactly the serene, quiet, anniversary weekend I was hoping for when I booked our room. The hotel itself is beautiful and well maintained, and the room was nicely appointed. The staff was gracious and kind. Food was just okay in the lobby bar and breakfast restaurant. We booked a couples massage a month in advance that was supposed to include the soaking tub, but didn't. We live in San Diego, so this was a stay-cation for us. I would opt to stay at one of the many other luxury resorts in town next time.
