We arrived at 0830 am and by 930am our room was available and we were able to check in early. The person at the front desk was fabulous! Most of the concierge was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant was beautiful and would have been more enjoyable had the staff been a little more friendly. We only had coffee there.
