I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, with great rooms once I figured out the high-tech controls and enjoyed a good breakfast. Unfortunately, the Jacuzzi tub was out of order. The high-tech comforts in the room, from the different shower heads to the centrally controlled lighting, were delightful, and the super comfortable king bed made for a relaxing stay.
