When we arrived the room was unusually shaped. Long and narrow. However it turned out to be fine. The overall size was the same as a regular room. The bed was extremely comfortable. Firm mattress which is what my wife and I like. We didn't like the pillows but we find its the same everywhere. Very soft. The room was clean. The restaurant was good. We had dinner once and breakfast twice. All 3 times it was good. We used the valet parking. The staff was good. We never waited long for our vehicle....
