8/10 Very good

Room was spotless, staff was unbelievably amazing! Food really good! Only reason we didn’t give it 5 starts was because we put our breakfast order on the door the night before to be delivered to our room in the morning and it never got fulfilled (but really not a huge deal). It’s a great hotel and we will definitely go back!!!
