Great date night connecting with my wife of 18 years. Thank you
Pros:

Bed very comfortable
Breakfast excellent

Cons:

Decor pictures in the restaurant all white peoples like we are in Europe
In this day and age surely they could have black faces on their walls as half the patrons were at least African
A brand like southern Sun can do better
