Pros:

I always enjoy the ranch. It's such a lovely scenic place to stay in.
The staff are always obliging.
The best part for me was the fact that they would do a snack pack instead of breakfast.

Cons:

For some reason I was placed on the other end of the hotel grounds. The room was old and was not like the other upgraded rooms. It's also where the animals are and they make alot of noise at the early part of the morning.
