good variety well appointed room lifesaver air conditioning
The breakfast had a good variety and everything was cooked well. My room was well appointed and had everything I needed. The air conditioning in the room was a lifesaver on the hottest day of the year!!!
The pricing for spirits was particularly unreasonable. Some were even more expensive than the cocktails.
