Beautiful hotel in a great location. We had a one bedroom suite and loved it. The shower with the push button on off for overhead rain shower or hand held was a first for us and the best system we've ever experienced. Helpful staff and nice buffet breakfast as well. Lastly we had dinner in the hotel and the food was excellent!!
