Positive: We were greeted by Tawnee when we checked in. She wore many hats, checking us in and out, serving us at dinner and breakfast. She went above and beyond in answering questions and offering suggestions. We asked a question about the music being played and she sent us an email about what the recordings were!!
Summary: More than we expected the Bear was just right!
