central location free parking poor spa unhelpful receptionist
The location was central. It made exploring so easy. Free parking was a HUGE bonus. The magnificent staircase was a real highlight. I also really appreciated the chandeliers.
The pool area was subpar. I thought the spa facilities were not good. The noise from the pipes kept me awake. It was a SERIOUS issue. The male receptionist was really unhelpful.
