The hotel, staff and amenities were excellent. Everyone was very nice and helpful. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. The ONLY negative, which I guess would be expected at a hotel of this calibre, is the price for food. Breakfast starting at $32 is a bit much in my opinion, but it was a great breakfast :)

Pros. I love everything about the hotel- the staffs, the room is specious and beatifly decorated, room, bed, bathroom are comfortable. The staffs are friendly. They’re great with kids too. Breakfast is good. Location is perfect. It’s close to sightseeing places but a little tucked away from trafffic and craziness. I love the hotel setting that is next to the water. Everything about this hotel is just 7 star standard I was looking for.

Cons. Parking $55 per night!
