We had the most amazing stay at the Balmoral. It was faultless. The service was the best we’ve experienced anywhere. The attention to detail from every member of staff we encountered was impressive. We can’t wait to return. It was a very special visit that we won’t forget.

Great property, great location. Great staff. Beautiful high ceilings. Very accommodating. The only criticism I have is that the people working the spa seemed clueless and uptight. The guy I was talking to about treatments appeared like he had never had a massage in his life. And as I was trying to get more information about treatments and providers everyone seemed to get more nervous and uptight. Very strange. Other than that had a great hotel experience.
