Nice but terrible tech abilities.

Nice place, however WiFi was terrible. Also - no cellular service available until I would drive off property. Also, TV kept freezing and turning off. I did not ask front desk to rectify since we were only there for the night and didn’t have time to wait.

I love the colors and the atmosphere, I do wish you had a bigger food menu with more recognizable items that weren't so expensive, and I couldn't find an ice machine anywhere nearby. Other than that, I loved it
