"We enjoyed our stay for the most part, only iffy experience was during breakfast and one lady got a little attitude when I asked to get breakfast for the day and she just kept telling me to go to the reception desk even though I had purchased at the little stand the day before. The food for breakfast was very yummy! The only thing I wish they had was a bigger concession stand with more drink options instead of a vending machine with only about 5 sodas and Gatorade and the water that tastes very minerally."
