From the moment we walked into the hotel, we were warmly greeted by the bell staff, who were incredibly friendly and accommodating. The hotel was exceptionally clean, the service was outstanding, and the room was exactly what we hoped for. It provided everything we expect from a luxury hotel—and came very close to exceeding those expectations. The breakfast was exceptional, with a wonderful selection and excellent quality. We will definitely be returning and look forward to our next stay!

Very nice property and stay. Near the locations I needed and about a $50 uber from the airport. The shuttle advertised will take you within three miles of the hotel. Accommodated my early checkin request and answered all my questions before arrival, including that $100 room hold was per day so that there no surprises and my trip went very smoothly.
