the christmas decorations was beautiful. the staff brought my bags to my room once it was ready, so i didn't need to leave the wedding i attended nearby to check in earlier. i did appreciate that i was able to check in before the wedding and then just go to my room after.

the menu did not have enough food and what i did order wasnt tasty.
