The hotel was beautiful. Everything was super clean. The only reason I’m keeping it three stars is because everything was automated. There was no person concierge and for a person that it’s not really high-tech savvy. It was hard to check in at least for my parents was.

Room was nice. Staff was nice. This was the only hotel I booked (out of 5) that didn’t have a soaking tub. Quite area.
