Room seemed a bit dated, view to the utility area through the window was ugly. But we were only there overnight, so was okay. A lot of money for the room we got.

Hotel side was fantastic. Restaurant (Farm & Fire) was the opposite. They were snooty/uppity, in the name of "culture". Didn’t have a normal eggs, meat, and Hashbrowns type meal on the menu. No omelet either. Didn’t have anything children would eat - no chicken strips, no mac & cheese, no fried fish filets, nothing. When asked, they were offended someone would order something so basic from their restaurant.
