Couple · Jun 2026

Liked:Our view was spectacular, all employees were very friendly and helpful

Disliked:Both night stand tables, the drawers would open on their own. Push it in and minutes later they were wide open, I hit my arm and leg multiple times getting out of bed, nothing serious just painful in the moment. On the 19th we got room service breakfast before we checked out. I ordered poached eggs and there was no runny yolk, I was very disappointed because I like to eat the ham and hash browns in the yolk, the ham was very very dry. The other breakfast’s that were ordered were perfect. Other than that, everything was great but when you pay over $600 a night you expect everything to be perfect.
