Overall Score4.0/ 5
I absolutely loved my stay at the Lancaster. The staff are very inviting and take excellent care of their guests. Even the dinner host was inviting and had insightful conversations with us and our two year old. The drinks were AMAZING and the unlimited snacks and beverages were a great plus for the children.
