Nice Birthday Celebration
“During my husband's 76th birthday, we dined at the hotel bar and were treated to good martinis. The highlight was when the bartender Danny, along with the manager and owner, surprised us with a slice of delicious key lime pie and serenaded my husband with 'Happy Birthday'. This thoughtful gesture made our experience truly lovely.” view full review
