10/10 Excellent
"The only thing I was sad about was they were short on staff, we checked in and they told us they had a restaurant and a mini bar, but when we got there they told us it was closed because of short staff and we were tired from traveling and wanted to have dinner with wine and relax, but we didn’t because of short staff, and we didn’t want to go for another drive so we just went back to our room, there was no walking distance to a restaurant around"
