Rooms were very clean and comfortable. The staff members were amazing! Everyone was super friendly and welcoming, really great people! The chef not only gave us an unforgettable meal but also great conversation and entertainment later on with percussions. The live music was so much fun and made better by the staff and patrons. Truly one of the best experiences we’ve ever had! Thank you! -JM
