Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The hotel its self was unique. It was really nice - the rooms were a nice size and the ceilings were high, staff was polite. We experienced a driving ban during our stay and it was unfortunate not to have vending machines or a place to purchase snacks, drinks as the bar had a very limited menu and the prices were very high and hours were limited however the staff was nice

Hotel was beautiful and grand. The architecture was stunning. The food, signage, and hospitality were adequate but did not meet my expectations.
