To say the place is stunning is an understatement. It is really something else. My only regret was that we were there for just one night. I found the staff to be extremely friendly and very helpful, including helping us to move to a different room from the original. The building is simply stunning. The food in the restaurant, I would give maybe a 7 out of 10, but the location is a 9. The breakfast was really comprehensive, great value.
