The room was great but the front desk was very disorganized. I asked for a receipt and was told it would be emailed - I am still waiting for it.

Beautiful hotel and wonderful location. Valet was great! Mattress was aged and sagging in the center, took a long time to get hot water in the shower. Fridge froze our drinks. No extra pillows or blankets in the room
