Location was incredible, rooms beautiful, staff very friendly. Was here on a trip and found the area extremely safe to walk around at night. Only downside which knocks a star off is the fact the room’s AC was nowhere near to beneficial. It would be consistently warm regardless of how low we put the temperature at. Rooms felt soundproof as the Bose speaker in the room could be turned up pretty high...
