Room was beautiful. Lots of storage in both bedroom and bathroom. Great having an ironing board in the room. Pool was clean and quiet. Had the happy hour but a bit disappointed it was only margaritas. Would be nice if wine and beer was available for happy hour. Short walk to restaurants on the Esplanade ...
