tasteful upgradebeautiful viewlocal venue
The tasteful upgrades throughout the hotel were obvious I liked them. The room featured a beautiful view it was amazing. Staff provided helpful suggestions for local venues that enhanced my stay.
The TV guide needed a cheat sheet to find stations that was a minor frustration.
