The housekeeping staff was wonderful and extremely helpful. The vineyard restaurant was great and the staff was unbelievably helpful with their suggestions. The room service portions were way more than I expected and the quality of the food was wonderful and service was spectacular. I couldn't have asked for more from the staff of the hotel.
