10/10 Excellent
"The breakfast is absolutely amazing with everything you can imagine! They do a beautiful job. We came there to celebrate our 40th anniversary and they set up such a special time for us in our room of a bottle of Prosecco and all kinds of treats and snacks to go with it was amazing and so appreciated. The staff was wonderful, recommending restaurants, and providing directions and also guided us on all the many things to see and do."
