I had a wonderful time at this hotel! The staff went above and beyond during the snowstorm to ensure that families had what they needed, and the food was fantastic with generous portion sizes. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, making it a perfect spot to relax. While the menu had a great variety of options, including vegan dishes, I felt that having more choices for breakfast would enhance the dining experience even further.
