"Everything was great!! We went to the bar twice and breakfast once and had a wonderful experience each time. The only thing that could've been a little better was the A/C. We were there during a heat wave and the A/C never got as cold as the temperature that we set (I think the lowest possible selection was around 70-72, nothing crazy)."
