You will not regret it.
Pros:

This is the nicest hotel I have ever stayed in. The architecture was gorgeous, food was delicious, pool and sauna were fantastic, and my room was outstanding. Having a soaking tub that large to end the day was so very relaxing that I'm jealous I don't have one at my house.

Cons:
