Overall it was a great stay. The staff was great. The rooms were great. I will say that the profile said there was a restaurant on property but every time we asked about it, the kitchen was “closed”. There was also a situation where one of the staff members made themselves a latte at the coffee bar in the lobby and then when we went to order lattes, we were told that the coffee bar was closed.
