    The staff was amazing. I was feeling queezy, and Connor went out of his way to get me real ginger for my tea. Caroline, at the front desk, made us feel as if we were being welcomed home. Even the young men helping out around were very attentive....

  • Hi. On your site it says you require proof of immunity to eat in the restaurant. Is that also for hotel residents? I only have my 1st dose so far.
