πŸ“ Local Insights

🍳 Breakfast Buffet Nuances: The breakfast buffet offers varied daily selections but lacks stations like omelet or fresh pastries, so plan accordingly.

πŸ— Wings Are a Must-Try: Many repeat visitors rave about the wings, considering them a signature must-have dish.

🍹 Busy Bar Hours: Evenings can get lively; bartenders are busy but known for crafting generous drinks and personable service.

πŸš— Ample Parking But Busy Hotel: Plenty of free parking is available, yet the shared hotel lot fills fast during events, so timing your arrival helps.
