Hotel was beautiful and in a great location. Staff was exceptional and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. Hotel room service dinner was excellent. Ended up ordering the same dinner two nights in a row. Close to shopping and major attractions.
Authenticity & Character
The hotel is great as is - it's just more modern so has less old world character.
