Great trip, outdated room.
Hotel realm is beautiful and has a wonderful location! But the decor of the rooms are outdated, the carpet is terribly stained and the seating does not allow for a couple of families to be close together and comfortable. The robes provided have a horrible smell to them and the 24hr room service is not great! We did enjoy our night away and the bed was so unbelievably comfortable that you don’t wanna leave it. We would definitely stay again if the price was lower for what you get.
