Check in person was very quiet but that is ok. It took about 5 minutes for him to come to the desk. Small breakfast but again ok. The high point is we saw the elk in the parking lot. We had the disability room which was great to shower my 96 year old I was traveling with. Granny’s Restaurant buffet was good. Basic food but a selection. Off to Mingo Falls because a short hike and the 96 year old can wait in the car.
