Thank you, dcpatti, for such a thorough and balanced report. I read the [for the present] sole tripadvidor.com post on the SPR and that guest did not seem to share your mantra, so your post made be breath a sigh of relief. I cannot complain about my rate, after all. I will be at the SPR starting 3/30 and hope a few of the "soft opening" pains will be ironed out in the next 10 days. I'll report back!
