WOW! What a gem! From check-in to checkout, every staff person was friendly, helpful. Not one single complaint; do not remember when that last happened at another hotel. The decor is fabulous! It was like the a private club but without the snobbishness. Sam in the bar made our day. What a great human being. It was so great, we felt like kids in a candy shop.
