We came down for the fair, we love that you have a shuttle that drops us off right by the entrance!! We did get back around 11pm and were told the bar was to be open til 12. The female bartender was very unfriendly and unwelcoming, started closing things up at 11:20p and made last call.

ALL of the staff were so polite and willing to help. Our room was spotless with a gorgeous view. The shuttle was easy to access and to call for a return trip. This location also has many options for fun activities within walking distance. I can't say enough good things about our stay.
