The menu had a variety of options. The food I received was the 1/2 order of french toast with eggs and bacon on the side. A 10/10 for me. Another fan favorite for the table was the Banana Crunch French Toast. Good to share for 2! As for the cinnamon roll, I had it taken to go and it warmed up well in the microwave. For me it was a 6/10, but still worth it and probably better fresh to eat. Overall an amazing little cafe and service was so nice enough to split the checks for us. Service was fast and friendly!

Pastas and plates abound. There are vegan options that aren't just door prizes and clearly marked on the menu. The grilled cauliflower with romesco was a flavor bomb and the Ratatouille pasta combined the traditional Ratatouille flavors rounded out with a hearty rigatoni to satisfy and leave you full. An inventive cocktail menu and decent wines as well as beers on tap if you are so inclined round out the offerings. If you are vegetarian, just be sure to let the server know as the fried items are fried in beef tallow but they will bake them for you if requested.

But we were recently saddened to find out that they've switched to frying in beef tallow for heath reasons. So all those dishes that were naturally vegetarian (zucchini, artichokes, cheese pillows, fries/chips etc) are now all dripping in meat fat. This whole recent "beef tallow is healthier than seed oil" myth is just the latest nonsense from RFK/MAHA. Debunked YouTube pseudo science. All reputable medical findings clearly show that animal fat is high in saturated fat which is linked to cardiovascular disease. If this really is a "healthy choice" decision then why have a 12" tall burger on the menu and not vegetarian vegetables? C'mon we love you Spaghetti Western.. let's not do this, ok?

Part I: Production of Service…read more The "three stars" overall rating: Room quality, features and amenities, hotel aesthetics--i.e., rugs and draperies, walls and furnishings, etc... Each team member receives "Five Stars" for their individual performances and hospitable behaviors towards fellow members, hotel patrons and guests in Food and Beverage Department. Mgr: Emery ***** Server: Madelyn ***** Bartender: Adam ***** I frequent this hotel and dine in their restaurant, twice a year. The restaurant personnel are consistently knowledgeable, helpful and ready to demonstrate a "call of duty" that measures beyond their employment and policy requirements to ensure that they establish the perfect environment to welcome you back, again, before you place an order to enjoy the food and drink experience. This type of customer service, interaction and behavioral skills management cannot be taught. Unfortunately, the customer service industry consists primarily of people who do not possess the inherent skills of retaining public relations---so when you experience this type of excellence---[Y]our duty as a consumer is to single-handily call "a person" or people out for their exceptional service performance towards you and your guest. My five-star ratings are based upon perfection. Ask for them by their names. Part II: Food Review [Five Stars] This visit I ordered their homemade waffles atop with strawberries and whipped cream (I requested on the side) I am not a "crispy waffle" person and it was made to taste the way I desired. When you have food servers like Madelyn and Adam--you come for the production service before customer satisfaction. The menu foods and beverages you will enjoy. Most people do not have high quality standards and therefore may not judge and review the food and service (the way I do) the way we should. Most patrons and hotel guests live to be served by others and perhaps judge their customer satisfaction on personal tastes and preferences with high standards for low prices and discount rates--without considering how they, consumers themselves may contribute to their own "good and bad" experience---deferring blame to the establishment and not their household. I have not interacted much with every hired employee, worker and contractor---moreover, you will always experience someone who doesn't enjoy their job, work or you. I advocate for good "paying guest" as well as good quality employees to serve and be served by me. Please share your experiences with me. I'll follow up and write about it. Good luck, Emery, Madelyn and Adam--I look forward to your customer service. P.S. Emery, I appreciate your service outside the hotel in the parking lot--checking on the safety and welfare of patrons are essential to establishing good relationships. I observed you without hesitation checking on patron welfare. Please continue managing the way you do.

I drive 30k plus miles a year and have spent thousands of dollars at their establishment over the year. While spending $80 on gas arms 7:30pm on New Years Eve, I walked in and asked to use the restroom. The employee working told me the floors were drying and he couldn't let me. I explained I'd just driven 2 hours and really needed to go, I was filling my tank, I'm a customer. He said that the floors were wet. I said, I don't mind, I just really needed to use the restroom. He told me, I might slip and fall... I'm an able-bodied grown adult. It's not as though the restrooms were out of order. He seemed to just want to say no for some reason. I'll be consciously choosing to fill up across the street from now on. It costs nothing to be kind to your customers.

Rooms are dated, poolside rooms were spacious with decent sized fridge and worth the upgrade on a 100+ degree day. My bed wasn't great but I was in the pools more than I was in my room. Ordered a hot sandwich from the Capri and drink from the bar for under $20. Cute gift shop that was also inexpensive. Met some nice people, older crowd with lots of hats and modest swimwear. If you want to hand in the room it's probably not the hotel for you, if you're going for the pools then you can't go wrong. I left last week and I'm ready to go back.

The pictures are deceiving. The front desk clerk was very inappropriate with us…read more Immediately upon entering the parking lot my friend and I were on high alert. It is run down and old. Entering the lobby, it smells like an old antique building, heavy mildew smell. The elevator smelled like body odor, you can tell the carpet is ruined and matted down from guests leaving the pool (not their fault) and standing on the carpet. The carpet in this place as a whole desperately needs to be taken out and replaced with flooring more appropriate for pool goers. The pool was lukewarm at best. There was never a point that the water was even cool, never comfortable to stay in very long. Biggest shock was that this place does not provide HAND SOAP. What do you mean you do not provide the most basic toiletries? My final complaint was the front desk concierge. He made several suggestive comments to my friend and I, at one point making a very lewd hand gesture while staring directly at me. Do not stay at this place if you care about basic needs met at a hotel.
