charming roadside stay
large room clean decor convenient restaurant
i appreciated the large, clean room with its clever decor the kitchen area was especially useful i also enjoyed the proximity to the big texan restaurant it was very convenient. the gift shop offered fun souvenirs and the beer garden provided a relaxing atmosphere. i found plenty of goofy things to keep me entertained.
the tv in my room didn't work and wifi was unavailable it was disappointing as i wanted to relax in the evening. there was no breakfast available, only coffee from vending machines this was a minor inconvenience as i prefer a hot breakfast.
