Although beautiful and nicely appointed, the rooms feel very small next to the incredibly large television. The lights appear to only be in ‘moods’ so there’s no way to have a reading light on next to the bed without several lights on in the ‘evening’ mood. Air conditioner blows into your face on one side of the bed as they don’t have standard ducts in ceilings and the size of rooms mean they‘re really warm for sleeping. The location is fantastic and the employees were very nice.

Had an amazing experience staying for 4 days and nights. The service was excellent and efficient. Good food and service at the restaurant, loved our room and room service. The linen robes and slippers, and overall ambiance was stellar. Can’t wait to visit other locations
