Wish I could make this 4.5 stars - not quite a five-star stay. Loved the location and the room was well appointed. But our deluxe king room was smaller than the photos make it look. And we were disappointed by the furnishings - wish there were drawers to unpack suitcases into since we stayed for several days. But besides that, it was a nice stay and the front desk staff were all great.
