I had a delightful stay at this hotel. The staff were incredibly kind and made me feel welcome right from check-in. The room was clean and cozy, although it was located quite far from the front desk and had a view of the I-94 which wasn't very appealing. The breakfast was fantastic, and I loved the spacious saltwater pool. Overall, a great experience, but the room's location and view could be better.

I had mixed feelings about my stay. While the hotel was beautifully decorated and the staff was friendly, the food options for special diets were very limited. The room was average, and the amenities were enjoyable but priced higher than I anticipated. Overall, a decent stay but not without its issues.

Unfortunately, the restaurant didn't cater well to vegetarians, and I had a disappointing experience with my meal choices, which seemed limited and unappetizing.

The hotel had a lovely pool and a bar area, and I appreciated the complimentary prosecco upon arrival, which added a nice touch to the experience.
