"The only negative was the pillows. Very small and extremely flat. We had to use the sham pillows because the regular pillows were basically useless. Otherwise the hotel was amazing. The view is unmatched, the room was super nice, the bathroom was nice and updated. The complimentary continental breakfast was better than expected, the coffee was good, the hot tub was a bonus. Bring your own pillow and the stay would be perfect."
