I loved everything about this hotel. From the moment I arrived to my departure. All of the staff went above and beyond to make my stay memorable. They were all very courteous and helpful in every way. The breakfast, lunch and dinners were outstanding. The rooms were large and well equipped. Beds were very comfortable, and linens were top of the line. The roof top area is the icing on the cake. You really don't need to go anywhere - everything is here at the hotel. LOVE IT.

Barbara United States of America
