I wish I could’ve actually stayed here longer. You’re usually always kind of worried about the restaurant that’s attached to a hotel. This place was fantastic. Had one of the best steaks I’ve had in years they’re their continental breakfast was awesome. They even offered waffles made fresh for you. I would definitely stay here again
