The hospitality was next level, their staff is the very best I've ever seen! Literally the best hotel experience we've ever had and it was due to the bellmen and reception. AS GOOD AS IT GETS...
United States of Americathe staff definitely always make a property for me, personally. very kind and friendly staff. I like when staff engage with who you are/where you come from, etc. rather than just grabbing your money and sending you off to your room. the staff here were amazing and very helpful. even when I didn’t want help, for example, with my bags, they insist.
