great servicedelicious foodbeautiful roomspecial celebration

my parents had a wonderful 40th wedding anniversary. their experience was five-star from beginning to end. the service was great, the food delicious, and their beautiful double or twin room was perfect. i cannot thank the hotel enough for making their celebration so special.

the spa treatment my wife received was a little short (lasting only 40 minutes when i paid for an hour). the focus was mostly on her shoulders and neck, with very little time spent on her head.
