I absolutely loved my stay here. The hotel was beautiful and the staff were really wonderful. I had been asked in advance if I was celebrating a special occasion and I explained that it was my Ruby wedding anniversary although I had been widowed for many years. When I checked in there was a beautiful bouquet of roses in my room with a card from the staff. This was such a lovely gesture and I really appreciated it.. I will definitely return here.
