"I love the property and the location but my favorite thing about this property is the staff. So professional, friendly and kind. Really made my stay enjoyable. I love the restaurant, El Patio. The food is fresh and delicious, but again, the staff stands out, especially Marlon, who went above and beyond to make sure I had an amazing dining experience. Thank you so much, Marlon, El Patio and Balmoral Hotel. "
