This property is one of best i have stayed at. I would of given it all 5 stars, but I didn’t think the bathroom was clean enough, and the Manager ( I think) of the restaurant was rude to us, when there was a little problem with a reservation- ( nothing to do with us, and not a problem for them to fit us in) Everyone else was amazing.
