The staff was amazing--I had booked for the wrong week and showed up. I did a chat with Expedia and they got on the phone with the staff at the hotel. There was room at the inn--so they switched the booking for me for no extra charge. I was thrilled! the staff of the hotel greeted us each day, brought up a remote for the tv when we couldn't find it, lent us an umbrella (a nice bubble one too)--we couldn't have asked for anything more! The bathroom shower was amazing too.
