It was nice place to stay.. rooms were very clean. our granddaughter had a good experience for her 3rd birthday. The quality of the food in the main restaurant was in need of help especially with the pricing of our meals..purchase real eggs not substitute eggs would, a steak with flavor and tenderness not bland and tough, drinks were good..the pizza at the hungry wolf was good.
