Staff attentiveness and amenities are spectacular. Bosk is upscale adult drinks and dining.

What could be improved: They could use less attractive staff to avoid temptation. Everyone is perfectly professional, so don't take that wrong. They just know what they are doing.

Breakfast was a La carte and offered many wonderful choices. The omelettes and hash browns were perfection. The dinner menu offered less choices but the food was still very good. It is the staff at this hotel that makes a stay so pleasant. From check in to check out, we could not have been treated more graciously.

What could be improved: I did not care for having to be seated by a hostess in the lobby area. There are plentiful couches, large chairs and low table groupings but only a hostess can seat you during most of the day and night even if there’s open seats that don’t have “reserved signs”. The hotel serves a nice tea there in the afternoon and those tables have reserved signs on them. This is not a big deal but after my decades of travel I’ve never seen a hotel that doesn’t allow its guests to sit freely in the main lobby.
