the room was beautiful, tasteful, and comfortable! the staff were really kind and helpful. i ate several meals and the presentation was pleasing. the food was also delicious with a good range of dishes.
the bathroom towels are old. they could do with some replacements. housekeeping should check the rooms more thoroughly as they are lacking attention in this department. the rooms do not strike as clean after housekeeping has been to the rooms!
