It was amazing, the history of the place, furnishing & ambience was great and how central it was to all the amenities was spot on. We were so glad that we stayed in the Monte Carlo Suite & had it to ourselves, the Verandah was amazing. The only negative we would have is the stairs, we are in our 60's and found it a little bit challenging, having said that it didn't deter from a fabulous stay but if you are physically challenged just be aware.
