Likedwow the staff 10/10. The room 10/10 everything was top tier
“Great place for a group to stay”
LikedThe staff were exceptional, always following up on all our requests without a reminder.
LikedI absolutely loved my stay! We booked the Presidential Suite, and it was stunning. The staff was kind, responsive, and incredibly helpful throughout our visit. Upon check-in, we were welcomed with flowers and champagne, which was such a thoughtful touch. The beds were extremely comfortable, and the estate and surrounding property are located in a wonderful part of the city. Everything about the experience felt luxurious and welcoming. I will definitely stay here again whenever I return!
DislikedOnly that I couldnt stay longer! Was an amazing amazing experience.
“Beautiful luxury room with private hot tub”
LikedAmazingly beautiful hotel. We stayed in the luxury penthouse suite and thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub. The restaurant's food was also delicious. They also offered very safe van transport to/from the airport, which I really appreciated. The welcomed us with roses for the ladies and a welcome drink for everyone. The staff were so polite. Everything was perfect.
