Our Family Room suited us perfectly. The staff were helpful. They showed us interesting places. I found the room both beautiful and cozy. We all appreciated the hot shower after a long day.

I noticed slight wear and tear in the hallway carpeting. It did not affect my room directly, but I observed it.
