The room was beautiful and the check-in/checkout was very easy. The restaurant food was amazing, but it would be great if there was a way guests at the hotel could get seated instead of having to go elsewhere. The pool was lovely however the locker room was not well cleaned. The grounds looked like they would be beautiful in warmer weather.
