"We loved this hotel-- definitely our favorite of the whole trip! Absolutely beautiful hotel and great location. We booked the "friends and family suite" and it was amazing! It was hard to tell exactly what it was when I booked, but it was perfect for us! It has one common door, then a foyer type situation with one smaller room and full bathroom on one side, with its own door, then another door to the other side with a half bath, living area with couches, desk, and table with chairs, then the other room with a door and full bathroom. It was tons of space for our family of four and we loved it! There is a mini fridge in the room as well. Breakfast was good but super busy at the time we went. Gym is small but good, and parking was good! Highly recommend and will definitely stay again!"
