Our visit to the hotel provided a blend of memorable experiences and some frustrations. While the luxurious accommodations and fantastic dining at Madison's restaurant left a solid impression, the overall service didn't meet the high standards we expected from such a renowned establishment. The spa amenities, which we have always cherished, were not accessible this time, and we felt that our comfort was overlooked. Overall, it's an incredible venue with beautiful surroundings, but there are areas that require attention to enhance guest satisfaction.
