Very noisy heaters woke me up several times during the night. Indoor jacuzzi was either lukewarm or nicely warm. Jacuzzi room needs doors that shut out the cold outside during this time - very cold and unpleasant! Salmon bowl had good piece of salmon but the vegetables were bell peppers, not the variety pictured. Ugh!

The room was clean and nice, but not well furnished or decorated. Most everything was white and plain, so it has a sterile feel. We had a courtyard suite on the bottom floor and there is no insulation from the top floor. You can hear your neighbors stomping around at all hours. Doors to adjacent suites slam shut loudly.

Amazing
Where to begin. The staff upon check in where super friendly. They even got us some bubble to celebrate our anniversary. So attentive and helpful. The room was exelent, super clean, comfortable with all the amenities you could desire. There was even a diffuser in the room and we where given an oil blend to complete the experience. Highly recommend the restaurant on the premises
