8.8/10 Excellent! (1,013 reviews)
"This hotel is truly an oasis. We enjoyed our stay very much. My only concern was that the dining room had set hours so if you miss lunch at 2 at both locations you are stuck with the ice cream shop who has a very limited menu. Perhaps the locations should overlap so that one is open to 3."
