We had a lovely stay. It was close to the boat we went on a music cruise Saturday night. Our hotel room was beautiful and the bed very comfortable. Our brunch at the hotel’s restaurant was incredible. Such a lovely patio to eat on, and fantastic food. Service was amazing for both the hotel and restaurant.

This was an amazing place. The room was full of little amenities - the coffee in the room was good, the beds were perfect, and even the shampoo provided was good. On top of that, the pool was a treasure - Jacuzzi, individual saunas, and an amazing weight room. The entire price of a room is worth it just for the pool. The amazing experience was only just slightly soured by the rudeness of the assistant manager at check in - but hopefully he can be better trained so as not to interfere with the amazing experience that is this hotel. Whenever I am through this way again, I will definitely be staying here.
