I went to my friend's hen party and we had the best experience. The hotel staff was super attentive and helpful. The rooms were super comfortable and the hotel staff even left a gift kit for each one. We also had dinner at the hotel and the food was delicious.

We stayed one night and am just sorry it couldn't have been two. The hotel is beautiful and from the moment you step in you start to relax. The room was gorgeous.
