The staff were friendly, the room was very well appointed and spacious. I appreciate the green approach, the room was quite cool with all the fans provided. Perhaps the bedroom TV could use to be on an arm, was hard to look over at it on the side of the wall. The restaurant was really, really good. Was a great stay overall!
