great care excellent attention local activities helpful suggestions polite staff menu variety limited options dinner menu unappealing item vegetarian options few choice
The staff took great care of me. They tended to my every need and gave suggestions for local activities. Everyone was very polite and cute, a real credit to this place.
I felt the breakfast menu could offer more variety. The lunch and dinner menu had limited vegetarian options. Only one item was available, and it was not very appealing to me.
