8/10 Good
"The room and staff were lovely. The food in the restaurant was excellent. The only downside in service was transportation. This is not a place to go to without a car. Left-side driving an issue for newcomers. The water shutdown on the 15th was such an inconvenience for my daughter who uses the gym before breakfast. Unable to shower until late afternoon. Horrible!"
