Luxury in every sense, from super-comfy bedding to dark chocolates at turndown. Great location and a warm feeling. We had a corner suite. The parents' bedroom not only felt like a spa with its warm tones and plush linens, but it was set up in just the right way with the sleeping area for the kids on a pull-out sofa in the living room. The bathroom was also configured to be very private so that nobody (kids or adults) would wake the others when using it in the middle of the night. more
