Staff very pleasant, lovely room, though the heating was not responsive in the morning. Apparently the house system overrules the room system! We'll be back though.

My husband and I were treated with a warm and welcoming smile by Michael at the front desk. Michael made our check-in informative and east. Our Room was splendid, well supplied with snacks and bar beverage selections, and impressive bath accessaries and warm thick bathrobes. Our room overlooked the front of the hotel and the beautifully landscaped grounds. Excellent!
