The stay was amazing. I had called earlier in the day to make sure our reservation was good and had told the nice lady on the phone that it was our 10 year wedding anniversary. She went out of her way to make sure there was a cake in our room! Either way I lived it. I got the queen suite and was nice cozy and clean!
