Excellent service atmosphere food location.
Pros:

Excellent atmosphere all throughout the property.

Cons:

Keep the theme in the bar, but lose all those tacky dusty hats on the ceiling …..does not suit the class of the hotel. It’s the type of thing you would find in an american roadhouse whose time has passed.
