What a place! Had a little problem When we checked in, our room was not quite ready at checking time so we got to wait in the restaurant until it was done. The compensation they gave us was above and beyond, the service here is amazing and the room itself is very big, clean and luxurious.Fantastic manager, staff and chef. Will recommended a stay here for sure.
