Very enjoyable love that I just had to walk a very, very short distance over to the building next-door to see a very goo
Pros:

Very well, decor, rated for the season loved all the colors and very easy to get in and out of!

Cons:

Would love to see a few more choices for night evening food, and the ice cream area maybe a choice for people who cannot have dairy.

Pros:

5 out of 10. Food choice was adequate. Would like bacon, bagels at breakfast buffet. Omelettes were very thin, could have used double the eggs.

I would definitely go again and tell my family to come with me next time. There’s something on the premises for everyone
Pros:

Best buffet breakfast I’ve ever had at a hotel, with homemade omelettes and pretty much everything else you can imagine. Beautiful facility, lots of areas for sitting, talking, playing games, reading, even a local ice cream Creamery came in on the weekend and sold sundaes and milkshakes.

Cons:

Nothing comes to mind! I thought everything was beyond my expectations, a beautiful place.
