I didn’t have the breakfast since I didn’t want to pay extra for it. It looked very good. My travel companions did have the breakfast and they enjoyed it. The fruit looked fresh and my granddaughter said the scrambled eggs were good.

The people below us banged on our ceiling and continuously called the front desk on us for simply walking around our room. If I got up to pee in the middle of the night I had to try to take very slow and careful steps. I told staff about the issue three times and they did not resolve in any way. They should have moved our room or given us some type of compensation for the trouble but did not. They sent a security guard to our room at 3 or 4 in the morning because we got up to walk to the bathroom. Just absolutely ridiculous. Don’t stay here unless you’re as silent as a mouse.

2/5 - Disappointing
Verified traveler
The Northstar Mine Powerhouse is way more informative and pleasing. State Park is overpriced and a bunch of scattered junk. Grounds are nicely landscaped.
