the location and staff were great and our room was mostly comfortable.

Cori United States of America

The room was unique, clean and comfortable. The staff was exceptional especially Guido and Veronica at the front desk who arranged our dinner reservations and tours to the lovely young lady who served us coffee in the morning. the breakfast buffet had a delicious and nourishing variety. We also liked the shuttle service to and from the parking lot so we didn’t have to drive in town.

Susan United States of America

The staff was incredible and Teresa made the trip for us. It was our daughter's 5th birthday and she arranged a cake, sang to her, and was just the most accomodating and sweet. My daughter cried when we left her.
