the room was beautiful. it was very clean and the stay felt consistently high quality.
we arrived kinda early. the lady at the front desk acted like we were majorly inconveniencing her. i asked to leave our bags while we grabbed lunch, but she refused. this was seriously annoying after traveling all morning, there also wasnt any cooked breakfast available, which i found pretty disappointing.
