adequate, but not really good
average roomhigh price
The overnight stay cost me a lot for a gourmet package and extras. Almost one thousand dollars. i expected a room and menu to reflect true five-star quality. sadly, everything felt too average and disappointing for the price i paid. i am not likely to recommend this experience to others given the cost.
