Probably the best you can get for the area, but the wear and tear on this place is hard and the maintenance is lagging. If your expectations are not set at high end resort levels you will probably not be disappointed.

The aesthetic appeal of the establishment is quite pleasing, and the surrounding area is aesthetically pleasing. The Powderkeg restaurant and bar provided an exceptional and extraordinary experience. The staff demonstrated exceptional professionalism and provided outstanding service. The only significant concern is the pricing structure of the mini-bar, which may be considered excessive.
