"Staff were mostly friendly but could have worked quicker. One female at the front desk was not friendly and overall rather grumpy. Housekeeping staff were great. Grounds, pool, parking lot, and rooms were clean and tended to at least daily. The breakfast is not good with powdered eggs and meat that looked bad and only gluten free options of fruit & yogurt. Would be great to have rice crispy cereal or rice Chex. The coffee cups are too small."
