Everything. seriously everything. the welcoming was sincere. The hospitality was incredible. I was so excited to talk with every single employee because they were so amazing. we were offered complimentary drinks. When we went to the lounge to use our coupons the waitress was so kind. as if she was our daughter. the checkout was fast but still meaningful and polite. there was a hiccup through Booking.com (I don’t recommend them) but maybe book directly through the hotel. I cannot express the gracious and hospitable way we were treated. they made us feel like we were famous. lol
