This is simply a beautiful hotel. Beautifully maintained and staff was very helpful.
The fact that the computer was down and we couldn't get into our room was a problem the first day. Felt like we should have at least been offered coffee or something while we waited. Also, the lobby and stairs were heavily perfumed or scented. Could be overwhelming.
