This was a beautiful hotel with a wonderful feel of luxury and elegance. We were able to walk to dining areas around and walk back to ring in the new year together. The fireplace in our room was such a lovely romantic touch of class. The breakfast and service was also very good.

8/10 Very good

Great couples stay
The staff at the front desk were wonderful as was the bartender at the martini bar. Only negative was the soaps/shampoo/conditioner in the rooms smelled terrible - to the point where I did not want to use it. Everything else was great and we'll just bring our own shampoo, etc. next time.
