The hotel, staff and amenities were excellent. Everyone was very nice and helpful. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. The ONLY negative, which I guess would be expected at a hotel of this calibre, is the price for food. Breakfast starting at $32 is a bit much in my opinion, but it was a great breakfast :)
