We had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The property is beautifully decorated, and the room was spotless. There’s a great sense of care and attention throughout, and we truly enjoyed the overall vibe during our visit. The front desk was especially kind and welcoming — the service was terrific from start to finish. We also enjoyed breakfast in the morning. While a few of the breakfast staff might benefit from a little extra training, everyone we encountered was genuinely lovely and eager to help. Overall, a wonderful experience, and we would happily return.

I was not able to go because I have pneumonia. Multiple efforts to change the reservation to next weekend failed. Neither Expedia or the hotel were able to help me change the reservation without significant penalties (penalties more than the cost of the room). Very frustrating experience.
