Described perfectly and beautifully decorated. Management team worked with me on a couple of requests. The only issue we had was the light sconces in the “fish room” would not work so there wasn’t much light especially at night. That issue didn’t affect my rating as it was still 5 stars on everything. ##### Deb J.
