Luxury Meets Legacy: A Resort Ready for a Refresh

The Bed: A Dreamy Escape

Nestled in the lap of luxury, this hotel impresses where it matters most: the bed and bath. The linens, mattress, and pillows earn a perfect 5, making the bed a cocoon of comfort you’ll never want to leave. It’s as if the mattress is whispering promises of the best sleep of your life, and it delivers on every one of them.

The Bathroom: Spa-Like Serenity 

The bathroom is equally stellar, with spotless cleanliness, flawless water pressure, and temperatures that would make even the pickiest guest swoon. The towels are plush, wrapping you in a warm embrace that makes you wonder why your home towels suddenly feel so... underwhelming.

The Room: Comfort with a Caveat 

But while the bed and bath are the stars of the show, the room itself shows signs of age. Though clean and well-laid-out, the view is more “eh” than excellent, the outlets are frustratingly few, and the room style feels like it’s been stuck in a time warp. It’s clear that while this resort shines in many areas, the rooms are probably due for a remodel to bring them up to the same high standard.

The Hotel: Upscale with a Hint of Quirk 

Fortunately, the hotel redeems itself with exceptional service, strong Wi-Fi, and a lobby that sets the tone for an upscale experience. Fitness enthusiasts will find the gym more than adequate, and the bar and restaurant deliver satisfying, if not spectacular, culinary experiences. The location is unbeatable, making it a prime choice for both business and leisure travelers.

Final Thoughts: A Vintage Worth Savoring

In summary, this resort is like a fine vintage wine—luxurious and well-aged, though perhaps ready for a bit of a refresh. With a stayIQ of 4.48, it’s still an experience worth savoring, even if the rooms could use a bit of updating.
