Very nice property. All the amenities are good. Especially the shuttle service was good. We missed the shuttle from the rail depot, since the resort name was not on the shuttle and the website didn’t say there was a shuttle from the rail depot. When we called from the station nobody picked up at the front desk. Otherwise everything was good. They dropped us at the tour site, museum etc at no extra charge
