I was genuinely impressed by the thoughtfulness, intelligence, and judgment demonstrated by the staff. What stood out most was that the quality of service went beyond training or process. The team appeared to have both the capability and the authority to make thoughtful decisions in the moment, guided by what would best serve the guest. At no point did the experience feel constrained by rigid policies, scripts, or rules that might interfere with hospitality. Instead, the staff consistently exercised discretion, care, and common sense in a way that made the entire experience feel personal, seamless, and exceptional.
