Terrific - We will be back.
Staff was great, very clean room, A/C worked fine and didn't use the gym. The food choices were great in the Food Hall and portions were not skimpy. A Breakast Buffet is served in the Brew Brothers Restaurant on the main floor. All in all we loved it. We are 75 year old seniors, drove 7 hours to get there and will be back.
