Our room was very clean, and the beds/pillows were comfy. The view is fantastic. My only tiny complaint is, I wish there were a small free continental breakfast in addition to the available to purchase breakfast. Just some coffee and a Danish, and cereal would have been awesome.

The location of the hotel was amazing--what a beautiful spot. Staff were accommodating (we needed an earlier check in for a wedding we were attending), the bar was fun on NYE, and the room was fine. Bathroom is tiny and dated, but not a problem. Great ice from the ice machine. Only thing we found annoying was the charge for parking--huge parking lot, and off-season it seemed unnecessary. It was a negligent fee, but felt obnoxious.
