Loved the restaurant and Starbucks also. I can honestly say it was the best starbucks drink I have ever had so I'm not sure what they did different, but it was so good! The restaurant was also worth every penny. Reasonable and our waiter couldn't have been any better. He was great & everything about the visit was outstanding!!

Nice view, friendly staff, not for a quiet getaway

If you’re a sound sleeper it would be good. The walls and ceiling are paper thin so we were awaken most of the night until after 2 am. Heard everyone outside our door and the floor above us, and the plow truck beside us.
