Staff and facilities were amazing, however the room above us was playing loud music and dancing until midnight, which did impinge on me and my wife’s evening together. Overall great experience!

Very noisy heaters woke me up several times during the night. Indoor jacuzzi was either lukewarm or nicely warm. Jacuzzi room needs doors that shut out the cold outside during this time - very cold and unpleasant! Salmon bowl had good piece of salmon but the vegetables were bell peppers, not the variety pictured. Ugh!

The room was clean and nice, but not well furnished or decorated. Most everything was white and plain, so it has a sterile feel. We had a courtyard suite on the bottom floor and there is no insulation from the top floor. You can hear your neighbors stomping around at all hours. Doors to adjacent suites slam shut loudly.
