Better than great

Room was over the top. Clean and so comfortable. Every employee that I had contact with had a smile on their face and were more than pleasant. Room service was fast and good. It was a good location and everyone was anxious to help with information.

Excellent hotel.

The location is perfect. The rooms are clean and comfortable with superb bedding. Chef is amazing! Definitely try the stuffed chicken. Staff was superior in every way. Jorge is top notch as host. It's more like you are home with family.
