For a High quality hotel, i find that it needs improvement. Coffee machine should be a Keurig instead of trying to figure out the machine. Nothing to write with or note pads to write on. No explanations in the room about the pool service. No vending machines in hotel, i was surprised that not even a bathrobe to put on after bathing. Could include a menu in the room. Just little details that would really impress people that do travel a lot in order for the hotel have customers come back.

I got into town after a long day of traveling and was greeted at reception by a lovely lady named Francine. She had a great sense of humor during check-in, making the process go by quickly and was refreshing after a long day of driving and waiting on ferries.
