"The server was horrible, very difficult to understand and couldn't understand me. Very slow and not nice, couldn't even smile. Coffee and hot chocolate were the worst! If any can screw up a coffee and a package of instant hot chocolate, this kid could! I'll never go back!"

"We sat down just at the breakfast and lunch menu was changing, no indication from the servers of how long it would take to get food. No waters, no cutlery and it took 56 minutes for the burgers to come out. The kitchen staff argued with me stating it was because we ordered medium burgers. I'd never eat here."

"We stayed at the Beach Retreat and went to sidelines for breakfast. Our hostess/waiter was extremely helpful and friendly. The service was excellent and the $12 breakfast special (2 eggs, toast, bacon, potatoes) was tasty. The coffee was also better than expected! A great early morning option before skiing!"
