10/10 Excellent
"The entire staff was extremely helpful. Ensure all our needs were met as we had some challenging itinerary requirements. The dinner we had at the hotel was amazing. I highly recommend having your dinner there. We didn’t get to order some items that needed to be preordered in advanced but that was fine as there was plenty to choose."
