Room was spacious and clean. It would be nice for there to be complementary drip coffee in the lobby. Charging 4 bucks for a 12oz drip coffee seems unreasonable considering the price we are paying to stay.

The lack of including at least a Continental breakfast for an expensive room is a poor action. The restaurant menu is rather expensive.

Rooms very clean but some work can be done on the showers. Very low water pressure and water temp could not be maintained. Had to adjust often. Staff was very friendly. A really beautiful place but not sure of the other novelty sections as in the older side. Ours was fairly new and very nice.
