full kitchen longer stay intimate design

We stayed in the One Bedroom Executive Suite Kitchen. The space included a full kitchen. It had everything needed for a longer stay. The suite's design felt very intimate and special.

The bathroom fixtures seemed a little dated, reducing the overall feeling of luxury slightly.
