the dining room seemed elegant. i thought the breakfast service was excellent. the staff was professional and friendly (i especially appreciated dana at reception).
i was disappointed in our room. it was supposed to have a lakeside view, but it overlooked the courtyard. i found it frustrating as this was a special occasion.
