"We loved this place and wish we could stay a lot longer. However one young man at reception was less than helpful, he sent us the long way to the casual dinning area even though I walk with a cane. The room was amazing we really made the most if the hot tub. The rest of the staff made up for the weird awkwardness of the one fellow and we thought the oppulance of the place was charming, we even made friends with some dogs after dinner."
