Beautiful property. Lovey restaurants and gift shop. We weren’t warned there was going to be construction next to our room. Staff tries to be so helpful that ends up being unhelpful.

Photos looked too good. Upon arrival- neighbourhood area seemed scary as it was in a remote location- felt a bit insecure but turned out to be a great place. Will certainly consider once again for a transit stop
