10/10 Exceptional

The bathroom could've been better. Lower rain shower, and a hand shower taking into consideration many women are short, and families with kids. The bathroom door did not stayed opened. The mirror by the entrance door needs better lighting in order to be useful. Everything else was perfect with the hotel, staff, and a delicious breakfast.
