Pros:

Great location

Cons:

This is the second time I have stayed at Serafino. The location is perfect, and great for large groups as we can all stay together. Unfortunately the gentleman at the reception office is quite rude (both times I have stayed!). Other than the check-in experience, I would recommend.
