I was there Thursday ,Friday and Sat. Food is OK nothing to brag about.
Breakfast is better than lunch. For dinner try the winery in town. There is nothing in this small town. Spring Mountain was great.

I will be at Ron Fellows May 8-9. Cocktails at 5.
I am 5'9" 270. I made a deal with my wife that if I lost weight, then I could by a Corvette (I used to be 298). Every time I get in the Vette, it reminds me I have more weight to lose. I am not uncomfortable but i am very snug. I have to lose 50 more pounds by Christmas or I have to drive a 1981 Mazda pickup until I finish losing the weight.

They also have a military discount they will apply to a second driver if you served!

Food was terrible. Everything else was top-notch.

I was there the last week of March, 2017, and the food was GREAT! The breakfasts had lots of variety, but the best was the bacon. Really good, and lots of it. The lunches were really good too. I was in a 2 day class and the second day they served chicken breasts grilled on their gas BBQ. Everything was top notch, and the staff was very friendly.

We tried the winery for dinner the first night and liked it so much we went there the second night as well. I don't know what other places there are to eat in town, but after having such good food two nights in a row, I wouldn't even bother looking anywhere else.

Glad to hear it has improved. Doesn't surprise me considering the rest of the facility.
