We stayed in the two bedroom suite and it was absolutely beautiful! Every piece or decor and furniture was thoughtfully chosen and impressive. The record player was a nice touch as well! The staff we interacted with were all pleasant and helpful. We had breakfast at the cafe the next morning which was delicious as well.
The only downside was that the toilet smelled awful. I did call down to see if there was a candle or anything and was informed unfortunately not and that the smell was a known issue. It didn’t ruin our visit, but at the price point of the suite it would be nice to not smell sewage.
