From the moment we arrived, the check-in process was smooth and hassle-free, setting the tone for a wonderful stay. The pricing was reasonable, and though we initially hesitated to stay for breakfast since it starts at 9 am, I'm so glad we did! It turned out to be the best breakfast we had on our entire trip, absolutely worth the wait. Every employee we encountered was incredibly friendly and hospitable, making us feel right at home. The overall experience was fantastic, and I would highly recommend The Bowers Bar and Restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable and delightful stay
