Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Staff all but ignored my existence for 15 minutes before finally checking me in. Someone tied up a whining/barking dog outside the room which persisted from 6:30am to 9am. The shower was incorrectly labeled, so hot is cold and vice versa.. though it didn't matter as the water in the room cut out altogether while my wife was showering. It didn't come back for about an hour and when it did, it was black coming out of the faucet

It was a short driving distance to everything. Staff was very attentive. We had technical issues in our room, so we were moved to another room. Breakfast protein choices (meat & eggs) rotated daily. We had a lot of choices.
