Karen, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Unfortunately when we were there they were doing a massive remodeling project in the halls restaurant front desk pool area. It definitely affected our stay. We had a balcony room which cost more but we were happy with the view and the fact that it was in a more private area of the hotel.
Michael, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Front desk staff was wonderful.
Carole, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Beautiful spot but not as close to things as I had hoped. Would suggest having a car if staying here. Hotel lobby was being remodeled so was unable to enjoy the benefits of the hotel lobby, lounge and restaurant. Staff was very friendly. Hotel was very clean.
