Truly beautiful interiors. Very nice staff. Breakfast was so nice! However be aware, there are so many steps- everywhere! Normally okay, but I stepped wrong off the shuttle. So instantly I became very aware of the stairs.

We had a great stay! The room was clean, in a great location, and the staff was very friendly. We really enjoyed the 2 bedroom suite, so we could spread out, and having a full kitchen was very convenient with a toddler.
