delicious breakfast night turndown
The staff arranged a fantastic tour with Trish. She is an AMAZING guide! The breakfast was delicious and had great variety. I REALLY liked the complimentary soup and cakes served at night. There was even an attentive day and night turndown service!
The Uber drop-off and pick-up area can get a little busy during peak hours.
