1. Staff were courteous with all interactions. 2. Room was very clean,basic amenities in the bathroom. 3. Overall building very clean, speaks of old world charm 4. The bed was wonderful and the pillows absolutely comfy.The chairs in our room were also very comfy to lounge in. 5. The bartender on in the lounge was very personable and kept up with the constant throng of people. 6. The shuttle. The driver was very nice and drove well.Be aware even though they say they will take you if the shuttle is avaliable that isnt always the case. Things to improve/be aware of 1. Breakfast in the governors club- not bad, basic,not very hot.Scrambled eggs dont hold heat in general and were not very hot coming out of the serving tray.No clear direction on where to place dirty dishes. 2. The pool. The pool are in itself is set up very nice, cozy, it could use some additional seating though. The pool was fine. Not the warmest but certainly not the coldest I have been in. The whirlpool was warmer then the pool but not as warm as I would expect. Also once the jets turned on there was significant foam creation. Discoloration (dark colored/black) was noted to the grout surrounding the hot tub. And the kids. We went at about 4ish in the afternoon. The pool was packed and there were definitely more then 8 people (the max) in the hot tub. Would be nice to see some sort of attendant or staff member periodically checking in and enforcing the rules to allow for a plesant time for everyone.

The room and bedding were clean. We mentioned it was our anniversary at the desk, and then they sent up a complimentary bottle of wine and glasses. Wonderful!. Despite the nice start, there were a couple of things that kept me from giving this a higher rating. One there were issues with the heater and lighting being inconsistant it would get hot and cold over and over, and the lights in the bathroom kept blinking. We were not able to get the t.v to connect to a game system we brought, despite using the connections provided at the desk. Also, it feels like false advertising that the beautiful photos of the governor's bar are only for certain members of the bar, and this is not explicitly stated when booking.
