Have stayed before and will stay again! We live the place, and the staff are always friendly and helpful. The rooms and suites are generously sized and perfect for families. Great value for money in my opinion!
The staff is excellent and very cooperative. I had sprained my foot, so the lady at the check-in was kind enough to give us the room at the ground floor.
We ordered food from the room service, and the taste was excellent. The prices were also not that expensive compared to food in the nearby restaurants. The entire hotel has this king-era vibes which is just awesome. Parking is a bit limited, but plenty of parking was available outside.
Wonderful stay, gorgeous surroundings. Food was great the steak was wonderful only criticism is some salad or coleslaw would have been a great addition. Room was comfortable and clean. Would definitely recommend
